INTRODUCTION. 


It  is  hoped  that  this  book  will  be  of  decided  interest  and 
value,  not  only  to  the  family  described  upon  its  pages,  but 
to  the  general  public,  and  especially  to  those  students  of  his- 
tory who  lay  bare  the  past,  catch  clear  glimpses  of  its  exist- 
ence, and  acquire  a  just  appreciation  of  its  spirit  by  following 
the  lines  of  particular  families.  By  this  study  they  know  the 
motives  which  iufluenced  the  actions  and  moulded  lives  of  its 
individual  members.  It  is  not  to  be  denied  that  such  studies 
have  a  i-emarkable  value  in  disclosing  the  evolution  of  states, 
and  the  building  of  governments. 

A  clear  insight  into  the  formation  of  some  of  the  earlier 
colonies,  now  embraced  in  the  United  States,  the  organiza- 
tion and  development  of  many  of  their  towns,  their  slow 
growths,  the  sufferings  of  the  settlers,  the  distressing  Indian 
wars,  the  contest  for  national  independence,  the  struggle  with 
Great  Britain  from  1812  to  '15,  and  the  mighty  battle  for 
national  supremacy  and  existence  from  1861  to  '65,  with  many 
glimpses  of  the  politics  of  the  states  and  nation,  may  be  bad 
by  following  and  noting  the  lives  of  individuals  of  different 
generations  of   the  family  whose  existence  is  here  delineated. 

This  work  has  the  charm  of  novelty,  and  the  merit  of  origi- 
nality—  for  never  before  has  any  History  of  the  Sinclairs  of 
America  appeared. 

The  family,  also,  has  about  it  the  glamour  of  romance  and 
antiquity  in  being  the  offshoot  of  one  of  the  most  illustrious 
ones  on  the  other  side  of  the  sea.  For  a  thousand  years 
its  course  can  be  traced  —  for  a  thousand  years  its  mem- 
bers have  belonged  to  the  advanced  guard  of  civilization. 
From  the  misty  Noi-se-land  to  the  sunny  plains  of  Normandy, 
France,  from    thence    to    England,   to    Scotland,  to  Wales,   and

ts  of   Normandy, 

,  to  Wales,   and 


centuries  later  to  Ireland,  Australia,  and  America,  it  has  helped 
to  conquer,  then  reoi-ganize,  develop  and  protect  new  com- 
munities. In  the  United  States  its  members  have  been  active 
paiiiicipantB  in  every  war.  In  that  respect  it  has  been  a 
decidedly  marked  and  peculiar  family. 

In  America  its  patriotism  has  been  unquestioned,  of  the 
most  unobtrusive  kind  and  most  valiant  order.  It  has  shrank 
from  no  dangers,  and  has  not  been  appalled  at  the  fearful 
risks  of  the  most  hazardous  chances  of  war.  In  scouting 
expeditions  against  lurking  Indians  in  ambush,  in  the  long 
and  dreary  march  through  wilderness  forests,  in  the  rigor  of 
«ur  northern  winters  in  half-sheltered  camps,  in  bivouac,  and 
on  scores  of  battlefields,  its  members  have  suffered  and  endured 
as  only  the  brave  and  heroic  can,  and  some  of  them 
have  rendered  the  supreme  sacrifice  of  life  itself  for  their 
country.  In  relation  to  them  I  can  say  that  which  might  not 
be  appropriate  for  one  of  the  Sinclairs  to  utter. 

This  work  has ,  been  a  laborious  and  diflScult  one,  as  few 
accurate  records  have  been  kept  by  the  family.  This  deficiency 
had  to  be  supplied  by  facts  obtained  from  wills,  and  i;pcords 
of  administrations  of  estates,  gathered  in  many  probate  offices 
in  different  sections,  and  from  the  offices  where  transfers  of 
land  were  recorded,  by  town  and  church  records  in  various 
states,  by  military  records  published  by  different  states,  from 
manuscript  records  of  the  states,  and  pension  papers  in  the 
Pension  Office  at  Washington,  D.  C,  and  from  tombstones  in 
every  known  locality  where  the  family  has  lived.  All  known 
floui-ces  of  knowledge  on  this  subject  in  America  and  in  Europe 
have  been  consulted  by  correspondence  or  by  my  personal 
inspection. 

This  work  is  one  of  infinite  detail.  Errors  will  appear,  criti- 
cisms will  be  made.  But  let  him)  who  has  prepared  a  work 
of  a  similar  nature,  thereby  knowing  its  difficulties,  and  whose 
work  is  faultless,  be  the  one  to  ''cast  the  first  stone." 
Silence  will  become  all  others  as  a  jewelled  crown  does  the 
brow  of  the  fairest  princess. 

For  a  long  time  I  had  desirad  to  know  more  of  the  ancient 
Norman  families  who  settled  in  England  at  the  time  of  the 
Conquest.  A  special  fascination  always  clung  to  the  Sanoto- 
Claro  family,  a  branch  of  which  lived  at  Roslin  Castle.    Inves-

INTRODUCTION. 


tlgatioDB  in  that  direction  have  led  to  this  volume,  which  is 
now  given  to  the  public. 

The  orthography  of  the  name  has  greatly  perplexed  me,  as 
the  kaliedoscopic  changes  from  Sinclair  to  St.  Clair,  or  St.  Clair 
to  Sinclair,  were  brought  to  my  view,  and  even  before  the  name 
settled  down  to  the  common  form  of  Sinclair  or  St.  Clair, 
which  is  within  a  century.  I  have  faithfully  attempted  to  follow 
in  the  spelling  of  each  individual's  name  the  form  adopted 
by  that  individual. 

Some  inaccuracies  will  probably  be  found  in  this  book,  in 
the  printing  of  proper  names  and  dates.  The  responsibility 
rests  lai^ely  on  the  parties  who  sent  me  the  records,  for  often- 
times they  were  written  hastily  and  illegibly.  I  made  great 
efforts  to  have  the  names  correct,  and  the  dates  full  and 
accurate. 

ARRANOEKENT. 

The  arrangement  is  simple,  and  similar  to  that  adopted  in 
many  genealogical  works. 

The  pedigree  of  each  head  of  a  family  goes  back  to  the  emi- 
grating, or  first  known  ancestor.  The  latter  is  indicated  by  the 
numerical  figure  *,  meaning  the  first  known  generation;  and  so 
following  down  the  line,  with  the  ancestor's  name  marked  by  a 
numerical  figure  denoting  the  generation  in  which  the  person 
stands. 

On  the  left  mai^ns  of  the  pages  consecutive  numbers  are 
used.  Heads  of  families,  as  a  rule,  appear  with  two  numbers, 
first  as  a  child,  with  number  on  the  left;  while  on  the  right 
in  parentheses  ()  is  the  number  where  the  person  will  be  found  as 
the  head  of  a  family.  Turning  to  that  number  will  be  found 
the  person  with  numbers  reversed.  At  the  right  of  the  name  in 
brackets  []  will  be  the  number  of  the  pei-son.  as  a  child. 
By  looking  at  the  numbers  back  and  forth,  the  plan  will  be 
apparent. 

Much  care  and  painstaking  have  been  expended  in  arrang- 
ing the  running  titles,  the  table  of  contents,  the  list  of 
illustrations,  while  against  each  subject  is  placed  the  number 
of  the  page  where  such  subject  is  treated  in  the  book.  A 
most  copious  index,  giving  every  name  in  the  book,  in  itself  a 
great  work,  has  been  prepai-ed,   which  makes  the  work  easy  for

reference,  a  1  vastly  adds  thereby  to  its  value.  Any  statistical 
work  sent  forth  to  the  world  without  a  proper  and  full  index  is 
deficient  of  one  of  its  chief  merits  and  crowning  glories. 


ACKNOWLEDOEMENTS. 

My  thanks  are  due,  and  are  hereby  rendered  to  all  who 
have  interested  themselves  in  this  undertaking  and  who  have 
rendered  valuable  assistance;  some  must  be  mentioned  by  name 
as  their  aid  was  invaluable. 

Hon.  Charles  A.  Sinclair,  of  Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  wished  to 
know  the  history  of  his  ancestors  and  kindred.  He  has  borne 
the  expense  of  the  preparation  of  this  work,  the  cost  of  print- 
ing it,  and  of  illustrating  it  with  more  than  sixty  full  pages 
of  engravings.  Thus  has  the  history  of  those  of  Sinclair  lineage 
been  placed  in  enduring    fonu. 

I  am  indebted  to  Hon.  Obed  Edson  of  Sindaurville,  Chau- 
tauqua  Co.,  N.  Y, ;  Miss  Emma  H.  Sinclair,  Brentwood, 
N.  H. ;  Hon.  Charles  H.  St.  Clair,  Morgan  City,  La.;  Miss 
AngeUne  St.  Clair,  Albion,  Orleans  Co.,  N.  Y. ;  the  late  Charles 
P.  St.  Clair,  Esq.,  New  Hampton,  N.  H. ;  Hon.  John  G.  Sin- 
clair, Orlando,  Florida;  Prof.  John  E.  Sinclair,  Worcester, 
Mass.;  Hon.  John  Sutheriand  Sinclair,  the  present  Eari  of 
Caithness,  Scotland,  and  of  Lakota,  North  Dakota;  the  late 
Rev.  John  L.  Sinclair  of   Lake    Village,  N.  H. 

To  Thomas  Sinclair,  M.  A.,  Montpelier  House,  Woodlane, 
Falmouth,  England,  I  am  indebted  for  permission  to  use  any 
information  in  his  work,  "The  Sindairs  of  England."  Availing 
myself  of  this,  I  rewrote  and  arranged  in  genealogical  order 
much  of  the  historicAl  matter  incorporated  in  the  first  two 
chapters  of  this  book. 

To  the  late  Hon.  George  E.  Hodgdon,  late  Mayor  of  Ports- 
mouth, N.  H.,  I  am  indebted  for  information  of  the  Hodgdon 
family.  Mrs.  Mary  Eastman  of  Landafl,  N.  H.,  has  aided  me 
with  much  information  of  the  Clark  family.  Gen.  Jonathan  P. 
CiUey  of  Thomaston,  Me.,  gave  me  much  of  my  information 
of  the  Cilley  family  and  has  my  thanks.  Gen.  Lewis  Merrill, 
880  Walnut  Street,  Hiiladelphia,  PBnn.,  gave  me  facts  and 
statistics  of  the  earlier  generations  of   the  Merrill  family.

INTBODUCTION. 


This  work  chronicleB  and  preserveB  much  history  of  another 
American  family  from  its  advent  to  these  shores  until  the 
present.  It  gives  information  and  knowledge  to  many  Sinclairs 
of  a  relationship  with  other  Sinclairs  of  diverged  lines  of  which 
they  never  dreamed  hetore.  It  brings  them  into  closer  intimacy 
and  connection,  and  eptablishes  betweem  them  a  common  and 
fraternal  bond  of  sympathy  and  regard.  It  may  lead  to  regular 
reunions    of    the    numerous  widely  scattered,   and  far  separated 

members. 

This  work  recalls  much  from  the  mist  of  vanished  years 
which  existed  only  in  loving  memories.  Forms  laid  away  in 
the  long-ago  it  brings    back    clothed    in    former    loveliness    and 

beauty. 

This  book  is  now  sent  forth  upon  its  mission  in  the  world. 
Go  forth,  product  of  hand  and  brain,  I  bid  you  "Good,  speed 
and  far  going."

In  sunny  France  there  is  an  ancient  and  beautiful  province  which 
strikingly  resembles  some  of  the  fairer  districts  of  England.     It  is 
closely  connected  with  the  latter  by  sympathy  and  by  memories  of  an 
illustrious  past.    There  are  old  towns  and  newer  ones  of  beauty  which 
will  interest  the  traveler.     Every  spot  seems  stamped  with  the  impress 
of  one  mighty  man  — William  the  Conqueror.     Among  the  lesser  of 
the  lovely  rivers  of  Normandy  is  the  Epte,  which  flows  quietly  along 
through  pleasant  and  luxuriant  intcr\ales  on  its  couree  to  the  Seine. 
There  is  a  spot  upon  its  shore  where  a  grove  of  tall  trees  not  too 
thickly  stand,  and  whose  high' and  leafy  tops  furnish  a  protection  to 
the  creepers  and  small  undergrowth  among  them,  and  a  refreshing 
shade  to  the  ^'isitor  upon  a  day  of  warmth  and  sun.     A  few  i-ods 
from  the  flowing  river  is  the  "Holy  Well"  of  a  martyred  saint, 
whose  pure  waters,  it  is  said,  have  for  centuries  given  and  still 
impart  a  healing  power  to  the  eyes,  and  which  the  pious  and  simple 
people  still  use,  annointing  themselves  with  the  sign  of  the  cross. 
Near  at  hand  is  the  fonner  place  of  abode  of  the  pious  recluse,  where 
exists  a  shrine  in  his  honor,  and  a  chapel  adjacent  thereto  where  wor- 
shipers  often  gather  to  listen  to  then:  religious  teachers  and  to  utter 
their  songs  of  praise.  At  an  early  period  a  member  of  one  of  the  noted 
families  of  England  left  his  native  land  and  at  this  place  in  Normandy 
made  his  abode.     He  was  a  religious  man;  lived  in  a  Hermitage. 
In  that  remote  century,  in  primitive  style,  and  in  great  simplicity,  he 
lived.     The  beautiful  lines  of  the  poet  are  nearly  ai^licable  to  this 
saintly  man.

18  -OBIOIN  OF  THE  ST.  CLAIR  NAMK. 


*^  Far  In  the  wild,  unknown  to  public  view, 
From  youth  to  age  a  reverend  hermit  Kt^w; 
'fhe  muHS  his  bed,  the  cave  hiR  humble  cell, 
HIh  food  the  fruits,  hU  drink  the  orytttul  well, 
Itemotc  fr«>iu  man,  with  Uod  he  pass'd  hlH  dars, 
Prayer  all  hin  buoineitH  — all  hln  pleasure  prafee." 

Thouftli  more  tlinn  a  tliouHiind  yearH  have  }{one  Miiicu  tlien,  hiH  memory 
ia  Mtill  frajjrnnt,  tlie  place  he  tro<l  is  Hiicred,  the  location  of  the  Her- 
mitage ia  Htill  to  lie  aeen,  and  thither  many  pilKrims  c<m)e  to  do  him 
honor. 

This  recluae  wuh  fortunate  in  l)eing  a  ri}{hteou8  man,  and  ho  l)ecame 
u  saintly  martyr,  was  canonized  by  the  church,  and  won  immortality. 

ORIGIN    OF   THE    ST.    CLAIR    NAME. 

Ilis  name  was  Clare,  of  Rot^hester,  County  of  Kent,  Knglaiul. 
For  a  scathing  review  and  Just  condenuiation  of  the  conduct  of  one 
of  the  high-born  dames  of  Normandy  he  was  foully  assassinated  by 
two  of  her  minions.  The  church  honored  his  memory,  he  became  a 
saint ;  thus  the  Clare  of  Kugland  became  the  Saint  Clare  of  France. 
8t.  Clair  was  the  name  of  hi^  dwelling.  He  stamped  the  same  upon 
a  famous  baronial  castle,  iu  close  proximity,  and  imparted  it  again  to 
the  town  in  which  he  lived,  and  the  latter  bears  the  name  even  unto 
this  day.  The  town  of  8t.  Clere  is  situated  near  and  north-east  of 
Vernon,  and  is  some  two  hours'  ride  from  Paris.  l)y  the  impress  of 
his  patronymic  upon  a  famous  castle,  and  the  country  about,  he  gave 
the  family  designation  to  a  numerous  and  illustrious  family,  of  an 
entirely  different  bloo<l  from  himself,  whoso  history  will  be  given. 
Thus,  by  his  martyrdom,  by  the  celebrity  of  this  castle,  and 
by  the  knightly  deeds  of  the  family  of  St.  Clair,  who  took  their 
name  from  the  town  or  locality,  his  memory  has  l)een  presen'ed  and 
will  ever  endure,  (^n  the  eve  of  his  departure,  as  he  looked  forth  on 
the  fair  landscape  about  him,  he  might  well  exclaim  as  he  was  quit- 
ting them  foi-ever : 

**  Farewell  ye  mountaiuR,  ye  beloved  pastures, 
Ye  dear  still  valleys,  fare  ye  well." 

He  suffered  martyrdom  in  A.  D.  884. 


THE  PLACE  AND  PRESENT  APPEARANCE  OF  THE  OLD 
HOME  OF  THE  HERMIT. 

One  mile  distant  from  the  railway  station  in  St.  Clere,  France,  is  the 
place  where  lived  tlie  Heimit.  it  is  situated  on  a  rich  and  fertile  plain 
among  tall  trees  on  the  bank  of  the  river  Epte.  ,  Passing  through  the 
unlocked  gate  one  soon  reaches  the  "Holy  Well"  of  St.  Clair,  which 
is  Bun-ounded  by  an  iron  railing  and  is  some  four  feet  in  length,  three 
feet  iu  width,  and  four  feet  in  depth,  with  a  brick  or  cemented  bottom. 
Its  clear  and  limpid  waters  are  reached  by  three  stone  steps.  At  one 
end  is  a  half  circular  piece  of  stone  masonry,  six  feet  or  more  in

height,  surmounted  by  a  ball  of  stone,  and  this  by  a  stone  cross. 
Inside  of  this  structure,  in  a  niche  two  feet  from  the  floor,  is  a  statue 
of  St.  Clair,  made  of  the  soft  stone  of  the  country.  In  his  hantls  he 
liears  his  dissevered  head,  for  he  was  executed  by  direction  of  a  cruel 
woman  whose  crimes  he  ha<l  sharply  it'buked. 

THE    HERMITAGE. 

Passing  through  another  gateway,  in  a  high  faced  stone  wall,  his 
Hermitage  is  reached.  This  wall  surrounds  a  plot  of  ground  some 
fifteen  rmls  in  length  by  eight  nxls  in  width.  Another  wall  divides 
this  from  a  cultivated  garden,  filled  with  fruit  trees  and  with  vines. 
This  wall  separates  the  land  devoted  to  cultivation  from  that  devottnl 
especially  to  the  honor  of  St.  Clair.  The  latter  is  some  seven  rods 
in  length  by  five  rods  in  width.  At  regular  inter>'als  there  are  niches 
in  the  walls  filled  with  statues  of  different  individuals.  In  a  recess, 
with  a  roof  rising  from  the  top  of  the  wall,  is  the  Hermitage.  Its 
floor  is  of  stone  rising  six  inches  from  the  ground.  Within  is  a 
stone  altar  two  feet  or  more  in  height,  on  which  is  a  representation  of 
the  cniciflxion  and  Christ's  descent  from  the  cross,  while  near  at  hand 
are  his  devoted  female  followers.  This  is  surrounded  upon  the  wall 
by  flying  angels  bearing  a  scroll  or  rolie. 

On  the  right  of  this  scene  is  a' statue  of  St.  Clair,  with  his  neck 
protruding  from  his  clothes,  while  within  his  hands  is  his  ghastly 
head  with  its  upturned  face  facing  the  heavens. 

In  this  shrine  of  the  Hermit  there  is  another  altar.  Some  three 
feet  high  were  often  many  candles  kept  buraing.  On  the  outer  wall 
are  various  figures,  while  upon  its  front  are  these  wor^.B : 

"ICr   EST   LB    rSBITABK    BKRMIT

THE .  CHAPEL. 

This  structure  faces  the  Hermitage.  It  is  a  one-story  building 
constructed  of  light  stone,  and  its  four  roofs  come  to  a  point  at  the 
top,  above  which  is  a  bell  surmounted  by  a  roof  of  slate  about  two 
feet  square,  and  this  is  capped  by  a  weather  vane — a.  rooster.  The 
roof  of  the  chapel  is  of  tile. 

The  entrance  is  surmounted  by  a  ball  of  stone  and  a  stone  cross. 
Each  comer  is  capped  by  a  ball  of'  stone  at  least  eight  inches  in 
diameter.  The  two  Norman  windows  and  door  are  of  equal  height, 
and  the  colored  glass  is  protected  by  iron  bars.  Inside  the  chapel 
there  is  room  for  some  thirty  people. 

Facing  the  entrance  w  a  stained  glass  window,  and  also  one  win- 
dow on  each  side.  At  the  end  of  the  chapel,  facing  the  entrance,  is 
an  upraised  altat,  upon  which  are  the  crucifix,  the  holy  candles,  and 
vases  of  flowers.     On  either  side,  in  niches  in  the  wall,  are  statues.

TIIK    IIIHTORIf    FAMILY    OF    ST.    CLAIR. 

The  St.  C'laii'H,  or  SinelairH,  ho  fainoiiH  in  liiHtory.  were  of  a  ditfer- 
ent  I>Io(mI,  aiul  foUowing  a  coniinon  ciiHtoin  of  the  a^e,  tmik  tlieir 
name  from  the  castle  and  l«K'ality  in  which  they  lived.  The  castle  of 
St.  Clair  apiK'arB  to  liavc  l»een  the  hive  of  this  family.  History  does 
not  inform  iis  of  the  manner  in  which  it  fell  into  their  possession. 
It  was  taking  on  its  name  of  St.  Clair  in  N!)4,  one  thousand  years 
ago,  or  tt^n  years  after  the  martyrdom.  This  family,  living  at  the 
castle  and  on  lands  of  that  name,  were  early  called  St.  Clair.  Though 
the  St.  CInirs  can  in  their  descent  lie  traced  to  the  Norsemen,  and  to 
their  home  in  the  cloud  land  of  the  north,  yet  they  are  only  members 
of  the  Saiict<Mle-Claro  family,  (ifter  Rollo  came  to  the  rich  lands  of 
Normandy,  wliicli  was  one  of  the  fairest,  brightest,  and  most  richly 
historic  UH'alities  in  France.  After  Rollo's  advent  there,  they  appear 
in  history.  St.  Lo,  a  strong  castle,  was  1>esieged  and  taken  by  Rollo 
in  HiM),  and  afterward  became  a  home  of  the  Sinclairs.  The  castle 
of  St.  Clair  had  its  aame  thoroughly  established  in  it  12;  and  it  was 
there  in  that  year  that  Charles  the  Simple,  King  of  France,  met  the 
Norse  chief  Rollo,  who  was  then  and  there  installed  into  the  dukedom 
of  Normandy.  The  castle  stmNl  near  the  church  in  the  present  village 
of  St.  Clere,  but  no  remains  can  he  seen  there  to-day.  The  village 
is  not  an  interesting  one  in  itself,  l^iit,  like  most  places  or  cities  in 
Normandy,  is  unclean,  and  like  them,  too,  is  destitute  of  a  really 
cleanly  and  comfoilable  hotel.  From  tlie  high  table-laud  back  of  the 
church,  and  near  where  the  castle  is  said  to  have  stood,  is  an  excellent 
view  of  the  country  al)out  for  many  miles.  The  landscape  looks  rich 
and  beautiful,  with  sloping  hills,  woods,  great  fields  comparatively 
free  of  walls  or  hedges,  with  grazing  herds,  while  the  light  colored 
roadways  thread  the  country  in  various  directions. 

The  Sinclaira  were  among  the  earliest  families  to  assume  a  surname, 
and  in  that  they  were  fortunate.  From  their  historic  stronghold  they 
went  to  St.  Lo  and  became  lords  of  the  fortress  there.  This  citadel 
gathered  alM)ut  it  the  important  town  of  that  name  in  the  district  of 
the  Cotentin,  and  which  from  its  picturesque  situation  on  steep  rocks 
and  frowning  hills  overlooks  to-day  the  river  Vire. 

The  Sinclairs  of  Rye,  Normandy,  were  a  branch  of  the  St.  Lo 
family.     Another  offshoot  of  the  blood  from  the  castle  of  St.  Clair

TIIBIU  LINEAOE  — PHOOENITOR  OF  THE  SINCLAIR  FAMILY. 

'I'he  Sinclair  lineage  can  \w  followed  far  back  into  by-gone  centu- 
ries for  more  than  a  thousand  years,  it  can  l»e  traced  through  the 
mazes  of  Scottish  and  English  history  for  eight  hundred  and  twenty, 
eight  years  to  the  Coiupiest  of.  England,  when  the  Slnclairs  first 
appeared,  at  least  jiermaiiently,  upon  Hritisli  soil.  Many  stalwart 
knights  of  this  blood  circled  about  William  the  Conqueror  on  that 
battle  day  at  Hastings,  Oct.  14,  1066,  when  the  English  King  Harold 
was  slain,  his  tnwps  defeated,  England  subjugated,  and  the  invadei-s 
became  the  coiuiiiei-'trs. 

By  them  the  family  is  followed  to  Normandy,  France,  where 
lieneath  its  bright  skies  their  home  had  been  for  some  two  hundred 
years ;  and  again  through  the  blood  of  the  famous  chieftain,  Duke 
Rollo  of  Normandy,  to  his  early  home  in  Noi-way.  In  brief,  they 
were  of  the  same  family  as  Wiiliam  the  Conqueror,  and  were  nearly 
related  to  him.  From  the  best  au  thorities  tlie  pedigree  briefly  stated  is 
as  follows,  which  for  the  sake  of  convenience  has  been  arranged  in 
a  genealogical  table,  i-  or  those  students  who  wish  for  fuller  inform- 
ation, which  is  not  consistent  .vith  the  scope  of  this  work,  they  are 
referred  to  Burke's  Peerage,  and  yclopedias  of  genealogical  lore, 
Anderson's  Scottinh  Nation,  and  to  a  recent  work,  "The  Sinclairs  of 
England."*  Concisely  stated  the  pedigree  is  as  here  given.  From 
these  works  my  information  has  been  largely  gathered. 

This  table  will  commence  with  Rogenwald*,  Earl  of  Maere  and 
Ruamdahl  in  Norway,  considering  Rogenwald  as  the  Ist  generation, 
and  so  marked.  He  was  surnamed  "  The  Rich,"  and  was  a  great 
favorite  of  King  Harold,  called  "  Fairhair,"  ruler  of  Scandinavia. 
His  wife  was  a  near  relative  of  the  king.     In  888  he  received  a  grant 


•  The  "  History  of  the  Sinolairs  of  England  "  is  noted  for  the  amount  of 
research  the  author  has  given  bis  aubjeot  and  the  valuable  knowledge  he 
has  obtained.

of  the  Orkney   Islands,  and  his  son  Eynar«  became  a  pei-manent 
prin(!e  there,  and  which  his  descendants  ruled  for  five  centuries. 

Piinco  Rollo"  (Rogenwald*),  a  half  savage  chief,  was  another  son  of 
Rogenwald,  and  of  great  energy  and  resourceful  in  early  life.  Visions  of 
conquest  in  southern  lands  floated  through  his  active  brain.  So  from  his 
noi-thern  home  he  fitted  out  his  dragon  ships,  and  with  his  adventurous 
comrades  sallied  forth  in  quest  of  adventurous  conquest  in  England, 
and  finally  to  the  rich,  well  watered  province  of  Normandy  in  France. 
In  912  he  met  King  Charles  near  St.  Clair  Castle,  and  from  the 
weakling  king  of  France,  Charles  the  Simple,  upon  certain  conditions, 
he  received  the  province.  He  espoused  the  Roman  Catholic  faith, 
man-ied  for  his  first  wife  Grielle,  daughter  of  W^ing  Charles  the  Sim- 
ple, and  became  the  first  Duke  of  Noi-mandy  in  912.  He  manned 
second  Papia,  or  Pop6e.  He  abdicated  his  authority  in  favor  of  his 
son  in  917,  and  died  in  Noi-mandy  in  931.

devil  and  saint."    He  lived  in  the  city  of  Falaise;  at  the  present 
time  a  city  of  nine  thousand  inhabitants. t     "It  is  situated  on  the 
right  bank  of  the  river  Ante,  a  branch  of  the  river  Dive,  and  is  an 
untidy,  ill-kept,  and  disagreeable  town ;  and  barring  its  rare  histori- 
cal  associations   has   little   to  please  the  eye,  gratify  the  taste,  or 
awaken  the  enthusiasm  of  the  traveler.     But  what  gives  the  place 
its  rare  interest  is  its  connection  with  the  life  and  times  of  William 
the  Conqueror,  and  with  that  of  his  aucestora.     This  wae  the  place 
of  his   birth.     In   the  early  morning  my  steps  turned  up  the  steep 
street  toward  tlie  picturesque  ruins  of  the  Norman  castle  of  Falaise. 
It  was  a  fortress  of  remarkable  strength,  on  a  jutting  cliflf,  facing 
the  rocky  height  of  Mont  Mirat,  and  overlooking  the  little  stream 
which  flowed  through  the  valley  at  its  base.     It  dates  back  to  the 
tenth  century.     This  edifice  shows  tliat  the   Normans  were  master 
builders,  and  knew  how  to  erect  massive  and  elegant  edifices.     The 
castle  is  sun-ounded  by  walls  from  seventy  to  one  hundred  and  ninety 
feet  above  the  base  of  the  cliflfs,  is  garnished  with  twelve  towers  no 
higher  than  the  top  of.  the  parapet,  and  is  one  thousand  nine  hundred 
and   seventy  feet   in    circuit.      At    the   entrance    the   'concierge,' 
an  old  woman,   unlocked   the  gate  and  conducted   me    through    a 
fine  walk  of  trees  to  a  portion  of  the  castle.     From  the  walls  at  the 
side  we  looked  down  the  steep  decline  onto  the  roofs  of  the  houses  in 
the  valley  beneath.   Then  we  reached  a  circular  tower,  called  Talbot's 
Tower,  one  hundred  and  thirty  feet  high,  which  rises  from  the  valley 
below  and  is  a  massive  and  fine  work.     Farther  along  we  were  shown 
the  place  in  the  wall  from  which    '  Robert  the  Magnificent,'  often 
called,   and  very   appropriately,  '  Robert  the  Devil,'  father  of  Wil- 
liam  the  Conqueror,  first  cast  his  eyes  upon  the  iair  Arlotta,  the 
mother  of  William,  and  daughter  of  the  Tanner  of  Falaise,  as  she 
was  washing  in  the  stream  at  the  base  of  the  castle.     The  abode  of 
her  father  is  still  pointed  out.     Centuries  have  come   and  gone  and 
stiirthe  women  and  girls  of  Normandy  wash  in  the  waters  from  that 
little  stream  which  flows  at  the  base  of  the  cliffs.    The  small  chamber

and  Sinclairs  after  leaving  the  royal  line.     He  married  a  daughter  of

(See  No.  6.) 

Besides  the  relationship  already  shown  between  the  Sinclairs  and 
the  Conqueror,  to  make  it  more  strong,  Walderne*,  Earl  of  St.  Clair, 
maiTied  Mai-garet«,  daughter  of  Richard*,  4th  Duke  of  Nonnandy, 
an  aunt  of  the  Conqueror's  on  his  father's  side,  which  made  his 
sons,  Richard  Sinclair',  Britel  Sinclair%  and  William  Sinclair',  first 
cousins  of  the  conquering  king. 

This  lineage  and  genealogy  may  not  be  absolutely  correct,  as  a 
slight  confusion  seems  to  prevail  among  authorities,  and  besides,  over 
800  years  intervene  between  us  and  many  whose  pedigrees  are  given ; 
but  it  is  approximately  correct. 

Important  political  events  had  transpired,  were  then  in  progress, 
and  were  to  come  about  in  the  near  future,  which  would  chaise  the 
political  conditions  of  England  and  Normandy,  make  Duke  William 
the  conquering  king  of  England,  and  raise  his  relatives,  the  Sinclairs 
of  Nonnandy,  from  their  Norman  estates  to  positions  of  marvelous 
wealth  and  power  in  England  and  Scotland. 

Edward  the  Confessor,  King  of  England,  was  a  son  of  Ethehred 
the  king,  and  his  queen  Emma,  pister  of  Richard  the  Second,  Duke  of 
Normandy,  and  of  Robert,  the  father  of  William  the  Conqueror.  Dur-

and  others  ruled  England,  he  had  been  brought  up  in  the  culture  and 
polish  of  the  court  of  Normandy.  He  loved  the  elegance  and 
refinement  of  the  Normans  more  than  he  did  the  bnisqne  manners, 
stiflFness,  and  inelegant  customs  and  appearance  of  his  Saxon  coun-

trymen.  Nuimans  aliounded  at  his  court.  It  is  claimed  that  he 
desirad  a  Norman  to  succeed  him.  It  was  in  1065  that  Hultert  Sin- 
clair*, Karl  of  Rye,  Normandy,  went  on  his  perilous  mission  as  a  secret 
agent  between  William,  the  Duke  of  Noi*mandy,  and  Edward  the  Con- 
fessor, by  whom  it  was  arranged  that  William,  who  was  his  relative, 
should  succeed  to  the  English  tliroue.  (History  of  the  Siuclairs  of 
England,  p.  '.).)  On  Jan.  5,  1066,  Edward,  the  king,  died  childless. 
Then  commenced  in  earnest  the  struggle  for  the  kingdom.  It  was 
"  an  irrepressible  conflict"  between  Saxon  and  Norman. 

Harold,  a  brave  son  of  the  great  Earl  Godwin  of  England,  in 
whose  veins  flowed  no  princely  blood,  represented  the  Saxon  element 
and  was  crowned  king  of  England. 

William  of  Normandy  was  aroused,  and  in  the  spring  and  summer 
of  1066  his  country  rang  with  acts  of  preparation  for  invasion  of 
England.  His  splendid  army  was  safely  landed  on  Phiglisb  soil; 
the  time  of  conflict  for  supremacy  was  at  hand.  Events  would  now 
transpire  changing  forever  the  character  of  the  English  nation. 
'*  Of  those  lithe,  athletic  figures  in  ai-morr  on  horseback  around  Wil- 
liam, Duke  of  Noi-mandy,  on  that  famoas  October  day  of  1066  near 
Hastings,  nine  at  least  were  Sinclair^.  With  Greek-like  ease,  familiar 
from  fine  expression  in  tapestry,  they  moved  in  the  inmost  circle  of 
his  gallant  sun-ounding."  (History  of  the  Sinclairs  of  England,  p.  3.) 

It  is  not  improbable,  though  not  susceptible  of  i)OBitive  proof,  that 
the  Earl  of  Senlis,  with  his  sons,  three  subjects  of  the  king  of  France, 
and  not  of  the  Duke  of  Normandy,  helped  to  swell  the  i-oll  of  the 
Sinclaira  on  that  decisive  battle  day.  On  that  field  so  fatal  to  Hai-old 
fifteen  thousand  Angles,  and  as  many  Normans,  fell. 

On  the  night  succeeding  the  day  of  the  battle,  over  the  identical 
spot  where  had  waved  during  the  fierce  battlestorm  the  standard  of 
the  English  king,  the  successful  warriors  spread  their  feast  on  tables 
of  stone  among  the  dead.  At  that  board  the  Sinclairs  were  gathered. 
The  circular  depression  in  the  soil  of  some  three  feet  in  depth,  and 
st6ne8,  said  to  be  identical,  are  still  pointed  out  to  the  visitor  to  that 
historic  place.  Over  that  place  the  famous  and  magnificent  Battle 
Abbey,  at  Battle,  England,  was  erected  to  keep  green  the  memoiies 
of  the  victors,  and  as  a  memorial  of  the  great  triumph  of  William 
the  Conqueror.  Though  the  latter  dedicated  it  chiefly  to  the  saying 
of  masses  for  the  soul's  repose  of  King  Harold,  whom  he  had  de- 
spoiled of  life  and  his  kingly  crown,  yet  it  became  -the  abode  of  his 
most  zealous  friends,  who  had  assisted  him,  among  the  Norman 
monks.  At  that  altar  were  offered  his  triumphant  sword  and  his 
kingly  robes  worn  at  his  coronation.  In  that  same  place  was  depos- 
ited one  of  the  most  famous  historical  documents  of  many  centuries, 
— ^the  "  Roll  of  Battle  Abbey" — consisting  of  a  record  of  the  Nor- 
man gentry  who  came  to  England  with  the  Conqueror  and  helped  to 
swell  his  victorious  armies.  On  that  memorable  list,  as  the  repre- 
sentative of  all  the  Sinclairs,  was  inscribed  the  name  of  Walderae, 
Earl  of  St.  Clare,  as  the  head  of  this  illustrious  family.

THEIR    HISTORY    IN    NORMANDY    AND    BlflTAlN. 

Di  KiN«i  tliese  inoi-e  than  eight  huiidi-ed  years  since  tliat  eventful 
clay  near  Hastings,  those  nine  Sinclairs,  wlio  were  al)out  the  Conquer- 
or, can  be  discerned  witli  great  distinctness.  Their  names  will  now 
be  given ;  the  dates  of  tlieir  birth  can  not  be  definitely  fixed,  but  will 
be  approximately  stated,  and  a  brief  r6sum6  of  their  lives  placed 
before  the  reader. 

In  addition,  notice  will  be  taken  of  other  branches  of  this  same 
family,  who  l)ecame  conspicuous  on  Knglish  soil.  Over  the  name  of 
the  "nine  Sinclairs"  and  their  descendants,  and  where  possible  of 
otliers,  will  l>e  placed  figures  denoting  the  number  of  the  generation  the 
person  is  in  descent  from  Rogenwald*,  the  Noreemau,  and  considering 
him  as  the  first  generation  of  ancestors.  For  a  full  account  of 
pedigree  consult  pages  21  •26. 

This  is  the  line  of  descent  of  the  hiMork  uim  Sinclairs,  —  WaU 
derne  and  his  three  eons,  and  Hubert  and  his  four  sons :  Bogenwald , 
of  Noi-way;  RoUo',  of  Normandy;  William  Longswoi-d*,  of  Nor-

WiUderne',  Karl  of  St.  Clair,  father  of  William  Sinclair%  founder  of 
the  Scottish  family  of  Roslin;  and  Hubert  SiMcluii*,  Karl  of  Rye, 
Normandy.     The  history  of  Hamo  Sinclair'  will  now  be  given. 

1.  Hamo  Sinclair'  (Hamo«,  Malger*,  Richard*,  WilUam  Long- 
sword*,  Rollo«,  Rogenwald*),  Karl  of  Corbueil,  who  fixed  his  residence 
in  Knglaud  after  the  conquest,  was  brother  of  Waldeme  Sinclair, 
Karl  of  St.  Clair.  He  is  said  to  have  been  at  Hastings  with  the  Con- 
queror,  and  dapifer  afterward,  and  perhaps  founded  the  castle  H)f 
Rye  in  Sussex,  Kngland.  He  was  proprietor  of  lands  and  estates  in 
counties  of  Kent,  Essex,  Surrey,  and  held  claims  on  many  in  other 
counties.  His  home  was  at  Rye,  County  Sussex,  England  (History 
of  the  Sinclairs  of  Kngland,  p.  165).  He  was  renowned  and  power-

2.  Robert  Sinclair*,  called  FIti  Hamo,  the  "  Knight  of  Kye,"  and  Lord  of 
Thorigny,  Gloucester,  and  Glamorgan.  He  enlarged  and  extended 
the  castle  of  Rye,  England,  named  for  the  castle  of  Rye  in  Nor- 
mandy, the  home  of  hft  uncle,  Hubert  Sinclair,  Earl  of  Rye,  and  is 
said  to  be  the  founder  of  the  Sinclair  family  of  that  place.  On  that 
bold  eminence  in  Rye  his  ruinous  castle  still  stands.  A  dashing, 
brilliant  figure  was  he  among  the  SInclatrs  of  England.  He  was  a 
gallant  and  successful  soldier  and  galne<l  the  highest  favor  with  his 
,  sovereign.  He  conquered  a  portion  of  Wales  and  the  castle  and  town 
of  St.  Clears,  Wales,  and  in  that  district  ruled.  The  village  of  St. 
Clears  In  J88»  was  forlorn  and  disagreeable,  with  few  attmctions, 
situated  on  the  river  Tay,  and  five  miles  from  Langhsrne.  Its  old 
and  historic  castle  has  disappeared,  and  u  circular  mound,  over- 
grown with  grass,  in  the  lower  village  In  the  rear  of  the  dwellings 
upon  the  main  street,  and  overlooking  the  river.  Is  said  to  mark  the 
place  where  It  stood.  Another  of  his  castles,  now  a  picturesque 
ruta.  Is  In  CardiflT,  Wales,  and  Is  evidence  still  of  Its  great  strength 
when  In  Its  best  estate.  Other  ruined  castles  In  Wales  give  strik- 
ing evidence  of  the  power  and  commanding  influence  there  at  one 
period  of  the  Sinclairtt.  The  magnlflcent  castle  at  Rochester,  Eng- 
land, was  once  assailed  and  taken  by  Robert  Sinclair.  It  is  now 
overgrown  with  Ivy,  and  is  one  of  the  most  Imposing  and  beautiful 
ruins  In  England.  *  His  wife  was  Sybil  Montgomery,  and  they  to- 
gether owned  many  estates  In  Normandy,  England  and  In  Wales. 
He  founded  the  Abbey  of  Tewkesburv,  England,  and  richly  en- 
dowed It  In  1102.  While  aiding  In  quelling  an  Insurrection  In  Nor- 
mandy, in  1107,  he  was  wounded  and  died,  and  was  brought  to 
England  and  burled  In  March,  1107,  In  the  Abbey  of  Tewktsbury.

mandy, France,  about  1006.  His  home  was  not  at  the  famous  castle 
from  which  he  derived  his  title  and  his  name,  but  at  the  castle  of  St. 
Lo,  which  for  several  generations  must  have  been  the  abode  of  his  branch 
of  the  family.  From  this  place  he  and  his  thi-ee  sons  rallied  around 
William  the  Conqueror  during  the  conquest  of  England,  and  were 
with  him  at  the  battle  of  Hastings.  Afterward  he  received  land  on 
the  Medway  river  and  was  called  Walter  de  Mednana.  His  name 
was  on  the  Battle  Abbey  roll  and  he  was  living  in  1075.  The  site  of 
the  castle  of  St.  Lo  is  not  now  visible.  He  married  his  cousin  Mar-

were  bom  in  Normandy,  France.

H.  Agnea  Sinclair',  Um\  nlMHit  1030.  All  wriU*rg  agree  that  »he 
married  the  head  of  the  Bruce  family  in  Kugland.  Some  say  it 
was  Philij)  Bruce,  grandson  and  heir  of  William  Bruce,  Loiti  of  Breos, 
Normandy,  and  of  Bramber,  County  of  Sussex,  England.  This 
shows  a  close  connection  between  the  Sinclairs  and  Bruces,  for  Wil- 
liam Bruce,  just  menti«)ned,  married  a  daughter  of  .lohel  Sinclair  of 
Fotness  and  Barnstapltv.  Some  say  that  Agnes  Sindaii-*  married 
RolHjrt  de  Bmis,  another  of  that  same  gi-eat  N<ninan  family,  so  influ- 
ential and  strong  in  England  before  it  i-eached  the  throne  of  vScotland. 
Bramber,  in  Sussex,  and  Brednock,  with  its  castle  in  Wales,  were 
the  earlier  homes  of  the  Bruces  in  Great  Britain.  Agues  was  supe- 
rior to  the  Bruces  in  family  traditions,  in  blood,  and  rank,  bnt  it  was 
a  distinction  to  be  united  to  so  powerful  and  noble  a  family.  She 
nmst  have  been  the  Lady  of  Bramber,  Sussex,  and  perhaps  of  Bi-ed- 
nock,  Wales,  or  of  both. ,  (History  of  the  Sinclaii-s  of  England,  p.  i'.).) 

y.  Hulwrt  Sinclaii-*  (Malgei-*,  Richard*,  William  Lcmgsword*, 
RoUo»,  Rogenwald*),  born  in  Nonnandy,  France,  about  1008*, 
Earl  of  Rye,  a  brother  of  Hamo  and  Walderne  Sinclair,  before 
the  conquest  of  England  by  William,  Duke  of  Normandy,  called 
William  the  Conqueror,  was  in  1047  living  at  his  castle  of 
Rye  in  Normandy.  He  was  a  brother  of  the  Earl  of  St.  Clair, 
and  his  early  home  was  at  the  castle  of  St.  Lo.  He  was  the 
sworn  and  loyal  vassal  of  his  king.  William,  hearing  of  a  plot 
against  his  life  by  the  rebellious  earls  of  Normandy,  only  saved  his 
life  by  an  all-night  headlong  ride.  When  the  morning  dawned  he 
was  urging  his  foaming  steed  by  the  castle  of  Rye,  when  he  was  seen 
by  the  earl,  who  was  standing  at  his  own  gate,  between  the  chui-ch 
and  the  mound  on  which  the  castle  was  built,  and  he  welcomed  him 
to  his  castle,  placed  him  upon  a  fresh  horse,  and  ordered  his  three 
eldest  sons  to  bear  him  company  and  never  leave  him  till  he  reached 
his  own  castle  of  Falaise.  This  command  was  faitlifully  executed. 
When  William's  pursuers  appeared  he  mounted  his  horse  and  led 
them  on  wrong  roads  and  saved  the  life  of  his  prince.  The  scene  of 
this  historic  event  was  where  the  river  Vire  unites  with  the  river 
Ouve.  The  duke  fled  from  Valence,  and  the  foi-d  by  which  he  crossed 
the  river  is  still  called  "The  Duke's  Way."  The  castles  of  Torig- 
nian,  the  home  of  Hamo*,  Earl  of  Corbueil,  and  castle  of  Rye, 
home  of  his  brother  Hubert  Sinclair,  Earl  of  Rye,  were  not  far 
distant.  Before  the  conquest,  in  1065,  he  had  fulfilled  a  most 
hazardous  diplomatic  mission  to  England,  and  brought  back  to 
Normandy  the  mandates  and  symbols  which  made  William,  the  duke, 
heir  of  England's  crown,     He   received  from  the  English  king,  Ed-

ward  the  Confessor,  a  grant  of  land  at  Ashe,  in  Hampshire.  It  is 
situated  at  nearly  cijual  distance  from  Andover,  Basingstoke,  and 
Kingsclere,  near  the  soun'c  of  the  Tees,  whose  waters  empty  into 
the  harltor  at  S(»uthampton.  .This  was  afterwards  possessed  by  his 
son  Kudo  Sinclair,  the  illustrious.  In  the  counties  of  Essex  and 
Sussex  this  family  held  land  liefore  the  conquest.  These  acts  «»f 
loyalty  won  for  him  and  his  sons  high  esteem  in  the  mind  of  the 
prince.  At  the  time  of  the  conquest,  1066,  he  was  in  the  strength 
of  liis  manhood,  and  four  stalwart  sons,  Radulph,  Hubert,  Adam, 
and  Kndo  Sinclair,  lK»re  him  company  on  that  famous  Octolier  day, 
1066,  at  the  battle  of  Hastings,  making  Jirc  of  the  nine  Sinclairs 
who  weix>  present  on  that  day.  Hubei-t  was  generous  as  well  as  brave, 
and  gave  great  gifts  to  the  church  of  St.  Mary's,  West  Cheap,  Lon- 
don,  which  act  has  lived  as  a  memorial  of  him.  The  dapiferahip,  a 
|)osition  next  to  royalty,  was  promised  him,  Init  he  did  not  possess 
it,  but  it  was  held  by  his  son  Kudo  Sinclair.  Children  lM)rn  in  Nor-

of  Muriel.  He  received  more  than  a  hundred  estates  in  England 
from  William  the  Conqueror;  was  first  constable  of  the  Tower  of 
London,  and  was  viscount,  or  sheriff,  of  Essex,  Middlesex,  and 
Hertfordshire.  She  had  a  son  Osborne  Mandeville«,  who  had  a

where  it  is  probable  he  often  resided.  He  gave  the  monies  of  Castle- 
acre  liis  rights  as  founder  over  their  monastery,  as  a  fi-ee  gift  for  the 
liealth  of  iiis  own  soul  and  that  of  his  wife,  with  those  of  his  heirs  and 
ancestors.  This  would  go  far  to  prove  that  he  was  one  of  the  promi- 
neut  persons  of  his  day.  His  HuiTolk  estates  were  not  far  distant,  and 
both  were  situated  in  a  very  strongly  disafTeeted  district.  He  was 
chaml)erlain  of  the  king,  and  the  most  of  his  time  was  spent  at  Nor- 
folk. He  had  wealth  and  |H>sition  and  was  among  the  successful 
Sinclairs  of  England.  It  is  supposed  that  he  died  later  than  1119. 
He  had  a  son  Walter  of  Medway,  and  among  his  descendants  were 
other  Richard  Sindairs  of  position,  prominence,  and  probity. 

17.  Hritel  Sinclair'  [6]  (Walderne*,  Malger*,  Richard*,  William 
Longsword',  RoUo'  Rogenwald*),  born  in  Normandy,  France,  almut 
1026.  He  was  sent  to  I)ev«>nshire  by  bis  king,  and  later  took  his 
share  in  the  fighting  about  Kxeter,  and  in  times  of  peace  he  8ettle<l 
in  Somereetshire  and  Cornwall,  and  the  most  if  not  all  of  his  life 
after  the  conquest  was  silent  on  English  soil.  The  reconis  give 
christian  and  ignore  surnames  to  a  great  extent.  While  it  is  probable 
that  he  received  valuable  imd  numerous  estates  from  his  relative,  *■*■  the 
Conqueror,"  yet  his  full  name  seldom  appears  u]x>n  any  record.  This 
is  one  quotation :  "And  from  the  half  bide  which  Britel  de  St.  Clair 
holds  the  king  has  no  tax."  lliis  is  said  to  be  sixty  arable  acres. 
He  had  his  lauds  chiefly  in  the  south-western  counties,  and  he  was 
founder  of  the  Sinclair  family  in  Cornwall  and  Devon.  The  parish  of 
St.  Cleer,  in  county  of  Cornwall,  takes  ite  name  from  the  family. 

18.  William  Sinclair'  [7]  (Walderne*,  Malgei*,  Richard*,  William 
Longsword*,  Rollo*,  Rogenwald^),  born  in  Normandy,  France,  about 
1028.  His  career  is  the  most  interesting  of  all  members  of  the  Sin- 
clair family.  For  some  unexplained  cause  he  was  one  of  the  nobles 
who  did  not  love  the  Norman  chief  and  he  forsook  England,  and 
about  1068  he  with  other  noted  barons  took  refuge  with  King 
Malcolm  III.,  of  Scotland,  where  he  became  the  steward  or  dapifer  of 
Queen  Mai^aret.  Honors  of  all  kinds  were  confeiTed  upon  him  and 
bis  personal  popularity  was  great.  The  regularity  of  his  features, 
hie  elegance  and  regular  proportions,  and  his  yellow  hair  won  for  him 
the  name  of  ''The  Seemly  St.  Claur."  On  the  roll  in  the  church  of 
Dives,  Noi-mandy,  he  is  alluded  to  as  "The  William  'le  blond.'" 
He  became  a  determined  and  bitter  enemy  of  his  relative,  King  Will- 
iam of  England.  More  than  once  "the  Conqueror "^et  him  on  the 
field  of  battle  on  the  Scoteh  border,  and  in  one  at  least  "the  Con- 
queror"  was  defeated.  William  Sinclair  was  warden  of  the  marches, 
and  lost  his  life  bravely  fighting  against  King  William  and  his  com- 
mander, the  Earl  of  Gloucester.  He  was  the  founder  of  the  house  of 
St.  Clairs  or  Sindairs  of  Roslin.  He  married  Doratha  Dunbar, 
daughter  of  the  P^arl  of  Mai-ch,  and  obtained  a  grant  of  the  barony  of 
Roslin^  Midlothian.  His  descendanto  became  possessors  of  Roslin, 
of  Cousland,  Pentland.  William  de  Saint  Clair',  "  the  Seemly,"  pro- 
genitor of  "The  lordly  line  of  high  St.  Clairs,"  had  a  son.

county  of  Edinburgh.t 


19.     Rudulph  Sinclair'  [10]  (Iluliert*,  Malger*,  Richard*,  William 
Longsword',    Rollo*,   RogenwaUl").      He  was  born  al>out  102B,  in 
Normandy,  probably  at  tlie  castle  of  Rye,  and  was  his  father's  eld- 
est son.     He   had   reached  proud  manhood's  prime   on   that  early 
morning  in  1()4«,  when  his  father  stood  at  Rye's  castle  gate  and  be- 
held his  relative  and  prince  in  his  rapid  flight,  and  afforded  him  aid  and 
comfort.     He  was  one  of  Hul)ert'8  sons  who  Iwre  the  future  conqueror 
company  III  his  extremity.     Twenty  years  later  he  was  at  the  Hast- 
ings battle,  and  was  near  the  king.     Afterwartl  he  commanded  the 
forces  to  secure  the  heart  of  Knglaml.     In  1066  he  and  his  father 
and  two  brothere  returned  to  Noi-mandy  to  aid  in  quelling  the  Cleiio- 
mannic  troubles  there,  after  which  he  returned  to  Kngland.     He  was 
made  Karl  of  Nottingham,  and  the  magnillcent  castle  was  given  into 
his  charge  and  keeping.     It  was  one  of  the  finest  castles  in  the  king- 
dom, and  is  still  imposing  in  its  elevated  and  commanding  imsition  ; 
exceedingly  interesting  are  its  subterranean  and  winding  flights  of 
stairs  cut  in  the  soft  rock,  and  its  chambers  without  windows.     In 
Domesday  Hook  he  held  great  irassessions  in  Leicester,  Nottingham, 
Stafford,    Lincolnshire,    Derby.      In    Nottingham    he    had  eleven 
houses,  and  in  Nottingham  County  he  had  ten  manors ;  in  Derby  he 
possessed  thirty-seven  lordships,  Criche  being  one  of  them ;  he  had 
DallJy  in  Leicester  and  Gunnebi   in   the  County  of  Lincoln.     The 
amount  of  pi-operty  in  his  possession  and  in  that  of  other  Norman  lead- 
ers, followers  of  Williniii  the  Conqueror,  was  enormous.     This  had 
been  wreiiche<l  from  the  unfortunate  Saxons.     The  name  of  Radulph 
Sinclair's  wife  (lie  is  sometimes  called  Ralph)  <loes  not  appear.     He 
had  children.

In  war,  but  was  taken  prisoner  and  the  sut-renilerinff  of  a  valuable

22.  Hubert  Sinclair'  [11]  (Hubert*,  Malger*,  RlchardV  William 
LongHWord*,  Rollo*,  Bogeuwald').  He  was.born  in  Normandy  al>out 
1028,  probably  at  the  castle  of  Rye.  He  was  in  hia  young  manliootl 
when  William,  hi»  prince,  in  headlong  haste,  halted  at  the  castle  gate 
of  Rye,  in  1046,  and  received  hospitality  from  Hultert's  father.  He 
was  one  of  the  stalwart  sons  who  went  forth  hastily  and  accompanied 
William,  the  duke,  to  his  own  forti-ess.  The  conquest  of  England 
opened  up  a  new  anu  brilliant  field  for  the  exhibition  of  his  talents 
and  prowess.  He  was  in  the  innnediate  surrounding  of  the  Con- 
queror at  the  battle  of  Hastings  in  1066,  and  that  night  encamped 
upQU  the  battle  field.  He  accompanied  his  cousin  Richard  Sinclair, 
and' Wrested  the  tower  of  Norwich  from  the  insui-gents ;  he  secured 
things  with  a  strong  hand,  death  and  destruction  desolated  his  way; 
he  became  the  governor  and  ruled  Norwich  Castle  with  an  iron  hand. 
He  became  the  dapifer  of  the  half-brother  of  William.  During  sixty 
years  this  family  were  rulers  of  Norwich  and  its  famous  castle,  but 
were  of  the  County  of  Norfolk.  The  castle  still  stauds,  and  from  its 
top  is  a  beautiful  view  of  the  city  of  Norwich  and  the  country  about  it. 
He  :.eld  great  landed  possessions  in  Sussex,  Berkshire,  Dorsetshire, 
Dev»  u,  Wai-wickshire,  Kssex,  Staffordshire,  Norfolk,  and  Suffolk, 
which  the  robber  king  had  taken  from  the  Saxons  and  given  to  him. 
At  one  time,  1066,  he  was  sent  by  his  king  to  quell  the  Cenomannic 
rel)ellion,  and  after  its  accomplishment  returned  to  his  possessions  in

daughter  of  Robert  Todenei  of  Belvoir  Ca8tle,,and  either  he  or  one 
of  his  sons  married  the'  daughter  of  Rodulph  de  Bello  Sago,  who 
brought  West  Lexham  as  a  dowry.  He  had  few  descendants  to  keep

Campes,  and  Adam,  son  of  Hubert ;  he  was  the  third  son  of  the  Earl 
of  Rye  and  was  born  about  1032,  in  Normandy,  probably  at  the  cas- 
tle of  Rye.  While  in  youth,  in  1046,  with  his  brothers  he  shared  in 
the  romantic  and  historic  ride  for  the  protection  of  his  illustrious  rel- 
ative and  prince,  William  of  Normandy.  At  the  coixqiiest  his  for- 
tunes were  linked  closely  with  William  the  Conqueror ;  he  went  with 
him  on  his  hajsardous  enterprise,  and  was  one  of  the  nine  Sinclairs

don  8i<le  of  Mai<l8tone,  and  to  this  district  the  Sindairs  ehing  for 
(•eiituricH.  His  cliicf  inansi<m  was  front  of  the  IIui-Ht  forest,  which 
was  lieantifiil  and  fertile.  His  capacity  was  of  a  high  oi-der  as  well 
as  his  education,  as  is  shown  by  his  lalM)r  on  the  Domesday  Ikiok. 
He  enjoyed  the  highest  confidence  of  the  Conqueror,  and  by  him  was 
appointed,  in  lOHO,  for  purp«)Be8  of  state,  to  accurately  reckon  up  the 
lands  of  the  kingdom ;  it  was  a  maiTelous  work,  and  it  has  made 
immortal  the  names  of  Adam  Sinclair  and  his  fellow  commissioners. 
A  great  survey  was  made  of  the  entire  kingdom,  which  was  recorded 
in  the  Doniestlay  Ilook,  and  which  for  moi-e  than  HOI)  years  has  been 
the  basis  of  land  tenure  in  those  portions  of  the  country  to  which  it 
applied.  The  king's  agents  traversed  all  Kngland  and  got  informa- 
tion from  every  source.  Three  appraisments  were  made  ujwn  all  con- 
ceivable property :  one  as  it  stood  in  the  days  of  Kdward  the  Con- 
fessor, another  as  it  was  when  granted  by  William  to  his  vai^sals,  and 
the  third  as  it  stood  thirteen  years  after  the  conquest.  This  vast 
mass  of  information  was  systematized  and  i-ecoitled  in  two  volumes : 
the  first  called  the  (ireat  Domesday  Book,  a  vellum  folio  of  three 
hundred  and  eighty-two  double  column  pages ;  the  second  the  Little 
Domesday  Book,  a  quarto  of  four  hundred  and  fifty  pages.  The 
survey  was  accurate  and  has  never  been  called  in  question.  This 
great  work,  with  which  the  name  of  Adam  Sinclair  is  forever  associ- 
ated, is  to-day  kept  in  a  strong  glass  case  in  the  ofHce  of  Public  Re- 
cords. His  success  in  life  was  great  and  overmastering.  There  is  no 
record  of  wife  or  children.  His  property  was  inherited  by  his  rel- 
atives. 

24.  Eudo  Sinclair'  [13]  (Hubert*,  Malger*,  Richard*,  William 
Longsword*,  Rollo*,  Rogenwal(f^) .  He  was  the  fourth"  son  of  his 
father,  Eudo  Dapifer ;  he  was  called  Eudo  Filius  Hubert.  He  was  born 
at  the  castle  of  Rye,  Normandy,  France,  about  1035.  He  was  a  lad 
probably  of  the  age  of  ten  or  twelve  years  on  that  bright  morning  in 
1046,  when  William,  the  futi"*  conqueror  of  England,  arrived  with 
foaming  steed  at  his  father's  castle,  after  his  all-night  headlong  ride, 
fleeing  for  his  life  from  bis  relentless  and  fast  approaching  pursuers. 
He  was  too  young  to  join  his  tliree  stalwart  and  soldierly  brothers 
who,  by  his  father's  command,  on  fresh  and  vigorous  steeds,  and 
heavily  armed,  were  to  bear  William  company  to  his  own  castle.  He 
little  dreamed  at  that  day  how  intimately  his  own  fortunes,  and  his 
great  honors  in  the  future,  were  linked  with  those  of  his  relative,  the 
fleeing  and  pursued  duke. 

In  af^er  years  he  was  the  dapifer  of  William,  the  Duke  of  Nor- 
mandy, which  for  him  was  made  hereditary.  He  was  in  his  manly

of  the  conquest  in  1066,  and  wuh  one  of  the  heroic  nine  Hincliiira 
who  fought  bravely  and  succeitiifully  at  HastinKtt,  October,  1  ()(><;.  He 
wa»  in  tiio  immediate  service  of  hitt  Icing  and  near  his  |)erHon,  While 
hia  father  and  brothera  were  Hcut  on  warlike  entcrpriHe  to  Normandy 
be  remained  in  F^ngland.  He  l)ecanie  the  chiefeHt  of  them  nil,  and 
was  the  moitt  noted,  nioHt  wealthy,  and  most  powerful  an<l  renowned 
of  any  Sinclair  of  Knglnnd  in  IiIh  or  any  succeeding  time. 

In  Normandy  his  chief  castle  or  liome  was  the  castle  of  iVeaux, 
Praels,  or  Pratelli,  and  its  wide  extent  of  lands.  It  "is  in  the  arron- 
dissement  of  Rouen,"  and  "is  three  leagues  north-east  of  Hayeux." 
It  belonged  to  him  in  1070.  Uther  large  possessions  were  held  by 
him  in  Normandy.  In  Kngland  he  held  immense  |M)SHt>8sions.  In 
the  single  county  of  Kssex  the  record  of  his  estates  tills  three  large 
pages' in  the  Domesday  Book,  and  he  owned  land  in  at  least  nine 
other  counties.  Hut  his  lai-gest  estates  and  greatest  interest  were  in 
Essex.  He  was  its  most  illustrious  person,  and  his  fame  lives  there 
till  the  present.  He  from  his  ottlces  was  the  chief  subject  in  Kngland, 
and  at  that  period  was  at  least  one  of  the  wealthiest  persons  in 
that  country. 

Having  received  great  honors  from  King  William,  at  his  death,  it 
was  by  largely  executing  the  plans  which  his  vigorous  intellect  had 
'  originated,  that  William-Rufus,  the  second  son  of  the  Conqueror, 
succeeded  to  kingly  nde  in  Kngland.  Under  him  he  became  Lord  of 
Colchester,  then  the  second  town  of  the  country  in  importance,  and 
which  is  fifty  miles  from  the  queen  city  of  Kngland,  London.  At 
Colchester  he  lived  much  of  the  time.  The  palace  of  King  Coel,  a 
former  ruler,  was  in  Colchester.  Un  the  site  of  this  palace,  by  orders 
of  King  William,  Kudo  Sinclair  in  1076  builded  the  massive  and 
famous  castle  of  Colchester,  whose  ruins  at  the  present  time  are 
among  the  most  celebrated  and  grand  in  Kngland,  and  in  which  is  a 
celebrated  museum,  containing  among  other  relics,  urns  and  ashes 
of  the  Roman  dead.  He  lived  in  this  princely  home  with  his  wife 
and  family,  and  here  were  centered  all  ties  of  home  and  political 
interests. 

His  mind  turned  to  religious  things.  In  1096,  in  September,  he 
commenced,  and  finally  built  from  his^own  i-esources,  "the  famous 
abbey  of  St.  John  the  Baptist,"  the  gate  of  which  alone  remained  in 
1889.  In  1097  he  himself  laid  the  first  foundation  stone,  and  bis 
beloved  and  loving  wife,  Rose  Sinclair,  laid  the  second,  and  in  1104 
the  structure  was  finished,  and  to  it  he  gave  lands  and'  revenues.  It 
received  donations  from  other  Sinclair  relatives.  The  abbey  has  now 
disappeared  by  the  ravages  of  time.  He  established  a  hospital  for 
lepers,  of  which  there  were  many  in  England  at  that  time.  It  was 
outside  of  Colchester,  and  was  dedicated  to  St.  Mary  Magdelene. 
Under  King  Henry  he  was  full  minister  for  the  United  Kingdom. 

He  was  approaching  life's  sunset.  He  had  been  great  under  three 
kings  of  Kngland,  who  were  his  relatives.  His  life  had  been  made 
supremely  happy  by  his  wife,  Rose  Clair,  one  of  the  greatest  and

She  lived  Uffore  marriage  at  her  father's  princely  alM)de,  Tuiibridge 
Castle,  County  Kent,  Kiiglaiid.  She  "worshipped"  her  husband 
"with  wonderful  teal,  with  wonderful  affection," as  he  did  her.  The 
last  days  of  Kudo  Sinclair  were  sjient  in  preparation  for  tieath.  "  He 
lived  according  to  the  Christian  ritual  of  his  time."  He  died  in  his 
native  Normandy  in  the  springtime  of  1120,  in  his  castle  of  Preaux, 
France.  At  his  deathlied  were  gathered  his  king,  Henry  of  Kngland 
and  Noniiandy,  the  Archbishop  of  York,  Kng.,  and  the  Uishop  of 
Rouen.  Uy  his  solemn  injunction  his  liody  was  to  lie  carried  to 
Kngland  and  buried  in  his  own  abbey,  so  celebrated,  at  Colchester. 
His  wife  was  with  him  in  the  last  hour,  being  then  about  furty-seven 
years  of  age.  She  died  within  twelve  months,  and  contrary  to  her 
wishes,  was  buried  at  the  monastery  of  Dec,  instead  of  by  the  side 
of  her  husband  at  Colchester.  Walter  Sinclair*,  a  nephew  of  Kudo, 
rested  by  her  side,  and  one  monument  is  o^'er  them.

Willlain-Kafua,  «nd  was  exeonted.  There  seems  to  be  a  doubt  In 
the  minds  of  some  as  to  his  being  a  sou  of  Eudo  Sinclair.  If  so, 
It  was  by  an  early  marriage.    He  was  ooasin  of  the  king. 

30.  John  Sinclair*.  He  was  born  about  1095;  was  known  as  Sir  John 
Sinclair  and  was  the  first  Norman  Earl  of  Essex.  He  lived  during 
the  reign  of  Henry  II.,  which  began  in  1164.  He  did  not  figure 
prominently  in  English  history,  and  died  leaving  few  mementoes

Countess  of  Essex,  and  after  a  life  of  prominence  and  vicissitude,

In  Normandy,  and  was  made  daplfer  of  that  ooantry.  He  died 
Sept.  14,  1144.  He  was  twice  married,  but  there  is  a  controversy 
in  relation  to  the  names  of  his  wives.  His  son,  Ernulph  Mande-

43.  Sir  William  St.  Clair".  He  accompanitd  Sir  James  Douglas 
on  his  expedition  to  the  Holy  Land  with  the  eai-t  of  King  Robert 
Bruce,  and  was  killed  with  him  fighting  agaihs  the  Moors  in  Spain, 
Aug.  25,  1330.  His  tomb  is  said  to  be  still  seen  in  Roslin  Chapel 
and  it  represents  the  person  of  a  knight  in  armor  attended  by  a 
greyhound.     He  left  an  infant  son,  who  was  also 

44.  Sir  William  St.  Clair^^  of  Roslin.  He  married  Isabel,  daugh- 
ter of  Malise,  Earl  of  Strathern  and  Orkney.     His  elder  son, 

46.  Henry  St.  Clair",  became  Earl  of  Orkney,  and  in  1379 
obtained  a  recognition  of  his  title  from  Haco  IV.,  King  of  Norway. 
His  son, 

46.  Henry  Sinclair"  was  the  2d  Earl  of  Orkney,  and  Admiral  of 
Scotlahd  and  chief  attendant  of  Piince  James,  aftei-wards  James  I., 
when  he  was  captured  by  the  English  at  sea  in  1405,  on  his  voyage  to 
France.  The  «arl  was  sent  to  the  Tower  of  London,  and  in  Septem- 
l)er  of  1405  was  permitted  to  return  to  Scotland.  He  died  before 
1418.     His  son, 

47.  William  St.  Clair|%  3d  Earl  of  Orkney  and  1st  Earl  of  Caith- 
ness. He  was  the  first  of  his  family  to  enjoy  the  latter  distinction. 
Many  were  the  high  oflSces  held  by  him,  and  he  had  great  landed 
estates  and  great  influence.  In  1446  he  founded  Roslin  Chapel  and 
endowed  it  with  various  lands  and  revenues.  He  was  High  Chancellor' 
of  Scotland  from  1454  to  1458.     He  resided  at  Roslin  Castle. 

The  baronial  magnificence  and  wide  hospitality  for  which  the  early 
knights^of  Roslin  were  renowned  are  said  to  have  been  exceeded  by 
Sir  William  St.  Clair,  3d  Earl  of  Oi-kney,  in  the  reigns  of  James  I. 
and  II.  Father  Hay,  a  member  of  his  household,  speaks  of  him 
'^ as  a  prince"  who  maintained  his  state  "  at  his  palace  of  the  castle 
of  Roslin,"  where  *'  he  kept  a  great  court,  and  was  royally  served  at 
his  own  table,  in  vessels  of  gold  and  silver ;  Lord  Dirleton  being  his 
master  of  the  household,  Lord  Borthwick  his  cup  bearer,  and  Lord 
Fleming  his  car\'er ;  in  whose  absence  they  had  deputies  to  attend, 
viz:  Stewart,  laird  of  Drumlaurig;  Tweedie,  laird  of  Dumferline; 
and  Sandilands,  laird  of  Calder.  He  had  his  halls  and  other  apart- 
ments richly  adorned  with  embroidered  hangings.  His  princess, 
Elizabeth  Douglass,  was  sei-ved  by  75  gentlewomen,  whereof  53  were 
daughters  of  noblemen,  all  clothed  in  velvet  and  silks,  with  their

chains  of  gold  and  other  ornaments,  and  was  attended  by  200  riding 
gentlemen  in  all  jonmies ;  and  if  it  happened  to  be  dark  when  she 
went  to  Edinburgh,  where  her  lodgings  were  at  the  foot  of  Black 
Fryars  wynd,  80  lighted  torches  were  carried  before  her." 

But  to-day  how  changed  the  scene,  where  the  *'  lordly  line  of  St. 
Clairs  "  fared  so  sumptuously.  The  castle  is  situated  on  a  projecting 
rock  overlooking  the  beautiful  valley  of  the  river  Eske,  and  is 
reached  by  a  bridge  over  a  deep  chasm  in  the  rock.  It  is  now  in 
ruins,  but  all  parts  are  visible,  and  some  apartments  are  in  fair 
preservation.  Through  narrow  apertures  in  the  wall  one  can  look 
forth  u<)on  the  charming  scenery  in  the  valley  beneath.  There  can 
still  be  seen  the  kitchen  of  the  castle,  but  the  menu,  and  the  accom- 
modations for  its  preparation,  were  rude  compared  with  those  of  mod- 
em establishments. 

Roslin  Chapel,  situated  upon  a  higher  elevation,  is  only  a  short 
distance  from  the  castle.  It  was  founded,  as  stated,  in  1446,  and  is 
one  of  the  most  remarkable  specimens  of  Gothic  architecture  in  Scot- 
land. The  carvings  on  roof  and  pillar  are  simply  wonderful.  The 
barons  of  Roslin,  clad  in  armor,  lie  buried  beneath  the  pavement  of 
the  chapel.  It  was  a  superstition  that  the  chapel  appeared  in  flames 
on  the  night  before  the  death  of  any  of  the  family  of  its  lordly 
owners.  As  Sir  Walter  Scott  has  beautifully  written  in  '^The  Lay 
of  the  Last  Minstrel" : 

"  O'er  Roslin  all  that  dreary  niirht 
A  wondroaB  blaze  was  seen  to  cieam : 
'T  was  broader  than  the  watoh-nre  light. 
And  redder  than  the  brtsht  moonbeam. 

It  glared  on  Roslin^  castled  rook. 

It  ruddled  all  the  corpse-wood  glen; 

'TwaS  seen  from  Dryden's  groves  of  oak. 

And  seen  from  oaverned  Hawthomden. 
Seemed  all  in  flre  that  obapel  proud. 
Where  Roslin's  chiefs  aneofllned  lie; 
Each  Baron  for  a  sable  shroud. 
Sheathed  in  his  iron  ponoply. 

Seemed  all  on  flre  within,  around, 

Deep  saorlaty  and  altar  pale; 

Shone  every  pillar  foliage  bound. 

And  glimmered  all  the  mad  men's  mail. 
Biased  battlement  and  pinnet  high, 
Blazed  every  rose-carved  buttress  fair— 
Ho  Btlll  they  bisae  when  fate  Is  nigh 
The  lordly  line  of  high  St.  CUIr. 

There  are  twenty  of  Boslln's  barons  bold 
.  Lie  burled  In  that  proud  chapelle; 

Each  one  the  holy  vault  doth  hold  — 

But  the  sea  holds  lovely  Kosabelle. 
And  eaoh  St.  Clair  was  burled  there, 
With  candle,  with  book,  and  with  knell; 
But  the  sea-caves  rang,  and  the  wild  winds  songt 
The  dirge  of  lovely  Kosabelle." 

The  earldom  of  Caithness  was  conferred  upon  him  Aug.  28,  1465. 
He  is  described  as  being  '^a  very  fair  man,  great  statnre,  broad

PRDIOBRE  OF  OBN.  ARTHUR  ST.  CLAIR. 


THE   PEDIGREE   OF   GEN.   ARTHUR   ST.    CLAIR,    A   GENERAL 
IN    THE    AMERICAN    REVOLUTION. 

The  statements  concerning  his  pedigree  and  the  date  of  his  birth 
have  long  been  indefinite  and  uncertain,  and  lie  apparently  left  no 
papers  or  statements  which  woul^  throw  light  upon  tliis  subject.  A 
long  correspondence  with  bis  descendants  has  failed  to  solve  the 
problem.  The  general  statement  in  history  that  he  was  bom  in  1734, 
mentioning  no  month  or  day,  is  indefinite  and  unsatisfactory.  An 
examination  of  public  records  in  Thurso,  Scotland,  the  place  of  his 
birth,  fails  to  reveal  any  reference  to  the  birth  of  any  Arthur  St. 
Clair,  but  by  a  personal  corresponden'^  and  a  consultation  of  the 
most  valuable  work,  ''Notes  on  Caithness  Family  History,"  by  John 
Henderson,  W.  S.,  published  by  David  Douglas  in  Kdinburgh, 
Scotland,  in  1884,  I  have  found  what  appears  to  be,  and  which  is 
accepted  as,  the  correct  date,  and  which  establishes  his  line  of  descent. 
Sinclair  and  St.  Clair  are  different  forms  of  the  same  name,  and  both 
were  often  used  in  connection  with  the  same  person. 

In  searching  the  Kirk  session  books  of  Thurso  was  found  this 
entry:  ''On  the  24th  of  March,  1736,  William  Sinclair,  merchant 
in  town,  bad  his  son  Arthur  (who  was  bom  about  five  o'clock  of  the 
preceding  day)  baptized  by  the  Rev.  William  Innes,  minister  here."- 
That  would  make  the  date  of  his  birth  to  be  March  23,  1736.  In  a 
personal  letter  from  Rev.  J.  Stewart  Miller  of  Thurso,  dated  July  2, 
1891,  he  gives  the  date,  and  says  "he  had  a  brother  James  bora  in 
1738."     "  His  mother's  name  was  probably  Murray." 

His  great-granddaughter,  Mrs.  Rachel  St.  Clair  Jacoby  of  Sumney- 
town,  Pa.,  in  a  personal  letter,  dated  Nov.  11,  1891,  says:  "Gen. 
Arthur  St.  Clair  was  very  nearly  related  to  the  Balfours.  Margaret 
Balfour  has  always|  been  a  family  name  with  us."  By  the  pedigree 
which  is  now  accepted.  General  St.  Clair's  great-grandfather,  James 
Sinclair,  second  of  Assery,  married  Elizabeth  Balfour  for  his  first  wife. 

General  St.  Clair  was  not  a  grandson  of  the  then  Earl  of  Roslin  as 
is  stated  in  Appleton's  Cydoptedia  of  American  Biography,  Vol.  5,  p. 
368,  and  in  other  works,  as  none  then  existed,  but  he  was  a  relative, 
descended  from  a  common  ancestor.  The  earldom  of  Roslin  was 
not  created  till  1801,  when  it  was  confeiTed  on  Alexander  Wedder- 
bum,  who  was  bora  in  1733,  a  little  before  the  birth  of  St.  Clair. 
(See  William  Anderson's  Scottish  Nation,  Vol.  3,  p.  373,  for  Earls 
of  Roslin.)  He  was  not  a  son  of  any  of  the  Lords  Sinclair,  as  that 
title  remained  dormant  from  1723  to  1782.  (Anderson's  Scottish 
Nation,  Vol.  3,  p.  459.) 

Upon  this  subject  Rev.  William  Sinclair,  of  the  Ulbster  branch  of 
the  family.  Chaplain  to  Her  Majesty  the  Queen,  says  in  a  letter  dated 
The  Chapter  House,  St.  Paul's  Cathedral,  London,  Eng.,  March  b, 
1890 :  "The  statement  that  General  St.  Clair  was  a  grandson  of  the 
Earl  of  Roslin  is  absurd,  because  there  was  at  that  time  no  Earl  of 
Roslin ;  the  ancient  Lords  of  Roslin  were  then  on  the  point  of  dying 
out  in  the  person  of  a  bachelor.     The  earldom  of  Roslin  is  an  entirely

PEDIGREE  OF  JOHN  SINKLEK,  OF  EXETER,  \.  11. 

i)U.  John  Sinclair  [7'Ja],  Hon  of  Ileury,  Hup|MiHcd  to  be  John  of 
Kxeter,  N.  H. 

liotween  1576,  when  John  Sinclair,  Master  of  CaitlineHs,  died  at 
(rernigo  Caatle,  and  the  time  when  John  Sinkler  appeared  in  Kxeter, 
N.  II.,  a  number  of  Sinclaira  appeared  in  recorded  Si'otch  history; 
their  names  were  mentioned  merely,  and  they  tlien  disappeared.  It 
is  probable  that  John  of  Kxeter  was  one  of  them ;  that  he  left  the 
country  of  his  nativity  where  the  accident  of  birth  and  the  law  of  the 
land  gave  to  the  eldest  son  all  the  estates  of  their  father,  and  where 
the  "unfortunate  younger  sons"  usually  became  wadsetters,  i.  e., 
small  tenant  farmers  on  leased  lands  under  their  elder  broUier,  to  seek 
a  home  which  would  lie  his  own  in  free  America,  where  the  law  of 
primogeniture  did  not  prevail.  (Ireat  exertions  have  been  nuule  to 
find  the  ancestors  of  the  emigrant,  John  Sinkler  of  Kxeter,  New 
Hampshire,  but  great  dittlculties  were  met.  (lenerations  had  passed 
away  since  his  coming,  two  and  a  third  centuries  have  come  and  gone ; 
many  people  who  lived  when  he  lived,  and  since  then,  kept  no  family 
records ;  many  records  have  been  lost  or  burned ;  in  consequence  of 
the  neglect  in  keeping  them,  and  of  the  mishaps  and  casualties  of 
time,  there  are  oftentimes  breaks  l)etween  the  records  of  the  family  in 
America  and  the  family  in  Scotland.  It  was  so  in  his  case,  we  have 
no  positive  connection  and  we  do  not  know  for  a  certainty  the  name 
of  his  father.  Yet  many  circumstances,  traditions,  and  suppositions 
point  so  strongly  in  a  given  direction,  that  in  their  cumulative  force 
they  amount  almost  to  a  certainty.     It  is  so  in  his  case,  that  he  was 

*  This  disposes  of  the  absurd  assertions,  that  for  so  long  have  caused  so 
much  confaston,  that  General  St.  Clair  was  descended  from  the  Earl  of  Roslin, 
and  the  erroneous  statement  in  the  St.  Clair  papers  publlHhed  by  the  state 
of  Ohio,  that  William  St.  Clair,  youngest  son  of  the  Earl  of  Roslin,  applied 
to  Uie  General  St.  Clair  for  a  position,  when  the  latter  was  Governor  of  the 
Northwest  Territory.    The  applicant  was  of  a  dillbrent  line  in  the  family.

pcared  in  the  parent  st«H'k  on  the  «)tlier  side  of  the  sea.* 

A  diHtiiinuiHlied  repreMentative  of  the  Si-ottisli  family  was  (ien. 
Arthur  Mt.  (lair  of  Kt^volutionary  fame.  In  IMKJ  .lames  St.  Clair  of 
Albitm,  N.  Y.,  (see  his  sketch,  No.  IM)  of  the  Mlnklcrs  of  Kxeter, 
N.  II.,)  visited  the  (ieneral  in  Pennsylvania,  and  the  relationship 
Itetween  them  was  discussed,  and  decided  l)y  them,  that  they  were 
lelatives  — "cousins"  of  a  ivmote  degree:  of  what  degree  they  did 
not  state  to  their  relatives.  James  St.  Clair,  of  Albion,  N.  Y.,  was 
a  deHcendant  of  the  fifth  generation  rem<»ved  from  John  Sinklei- 
(James  St.  Clair*,  Thomas*  Joseph*,  James*,  John  Sinkler'  of  Kxe- 
ter, N.  II.),  who  was  in  Kxeter,  N.  II.,  as  early  as  IBftH,  and  who 
wab  lK)rn  probably  alnmt  1B12. 

It  is  at  alKHit  this  (loint  that  we  must  look  for  the  connection  k*- 
tween  the  branches.  The  relationship  probably  existed  not  in  the 
direct  line,  or  through  the  elder  son,  Init  through  some  one  of  the 
younger  sons  of  the  house  of  Murkle,  or  the  allied  branches.! 

It  would  be  with  the  father  of  John  Sinkler  of  Kxeter  that  the 
connection  would  be  made  with  the  present  stock  In  Scotland,  nix 
(ffiierationf  from  .lames  St.  Clair  of  Albion,  N.  Y.  By  running  (ien- 
eral St.  Clair's  line  back  six  or  seven  generations,  on  his  line  of  de- 
scent, one  must  come  near  the  pbint  of  union  of  the  lines.  Hy  this 
we  reach  his  ancestor,  .lames  Siiicrlair,  Hrst  of  Mnrkle,  a  son  of  John 
Sinclair,  Master  of  Caithness.  By  running  James  St.  Clair,  on  his 
ancestral  line,  we  reach  the  father  of  John  Sinkler  of  Kxeter,  whose 
name  we  seek. 

In  consulting  "Notes  on  Caithness  Family  History"  we  find  that 
John  Sinclair,  Master  of  Caithness,  had  a  son,  Henry  Sinclair,  who 
was  brother  of  .lames  Sinclair,  first  of  Murkle,  ancestor  of  Gen. 
Arthur,  six  generations  removed.     (See  Nos.  74.  76,  75),  p.  41.) 


*  The  SInclaIrs  of  County  Caithness,  Scotland,  were  one  of  the  most  im- 
portant branches,  as  well  as  one  of  the  largest,  of  tbe  family.  They  lived 
in  many  difliBrent  towns  and  parishes.  In  Scotland  branches  of  the  Sin- 
clairs  lived  at  Koslin,  Ilerinandston,  Assery,  Murkle,  Atihingate,  Newton, 
Barrock,  Borlum,  Shum,  Brabstordoran,  Dun,  Dunbeath,  Latheron,  Dur-

Stirkoke,  Webster,  Sutherland,  and  Swiusie,  and  other  plnoes.  They  mar- 
ried and  intermarried  In  every  direction,  making  it  perplexing  to  the  gen- 
ealogist.

PEDIGREE  OF  JOHN  SINKLER,  OF  EXETER,   N.  H.

b:? 


Henry  Sinclair  "got  a  conveyance  from  his  brother,  Earl  George, 
of  part'of  the  lands  of  Borrowstone  and  Lybster  with  the  '  miln  and 
fishings,'  and  he  made  a  reversion  of  them  to  the  Earl,  Sept.  23,  1606. 
He  died  of  paralysis  while  besieging  the  castle  of  Kirkwall  in  1614. 
By  his  wife,  Janet  Sutherland,  he  had  a  son  John,  and  he  is  probably 
the  ancestor  of  a  family  of  Sinclars  of  Lybster,  who  occur  as  wad- 
setters of  these  lands  down  to  1670." 

On  page  144  of  this  same  book  is  the  statement,  "  Before  the  rise 
of  the  Sinclairs  of  Lybster  in  Latheron,  there  were  Sinclairs  of  Lybster 
in  Reay,  dating  from  at  least  1636.  Their  origin  is  uncertain,  but  it 
is  conjectured  that  they  may  have  been  the  descendants  of  Henry 
Sinclair,  who  died  about  1614.  A  natural  son  of  John,  Master  of 
Caithness,  and  who  got  from  his  brother,  the  Earl  of  Caithness,  a 
wadset  of  Down  Reay  and  part  of  Lybster.  Oi-  possibly  this  family 
may  have  been  of  the  Sinclairs  of  Dunbeath,  who  held  Down  Reay 
and  other  lands  in  Reay." 

This  second  statement  throws  some  doubt  on  the  first,  and  I  have 
been  unable  to  find  any  farther  record  of  him  than  the  preceding — 
and  he  disappears  from  Scottish  history.  What  could  be  more  natural 
than  that  this  John  Sinclair  should  leave  Scotland  and,  seeking  a  new 
land,  should  appear  in  Exeter,  N.  H.  Some  almost  assert  it  to  be  a 
fact,  and  that  this  John  Sinclair  and  John  of  Exeter  are  one  and  the 
same.  If  correct,  this  would  verify  the  statement  of  General  St.  Clair 
and  James  St.  Clan-  that  they  were  distant  cousins  (which  would 
make  them  fifth  cousins),  and  place  the  bond  of  union  at  the  place 
where  we  would  naturally  look  for  it  and  where  it  must  probably  exist. 
It  would  make  them  both.  General  St.  Clair  and  James  St.  Clair,

through  his  two  sons ;  Gen.  Arthur  St.  Clair,  through  his  son  James, 
first  of  Murkle  (No.  80),  and  John  of  Exeter,  N.  H.,  through 
another  son  Henry  (No.  79).     The  line  would  run  thus :

ilation  to  General 
e  of  relationship, 
ter,  N.  H.,  have 


been  many  knightly  men  in  civil  and  in  military  life,  who  by  their 
straight  and  stalwart  forms,  by  their  complexion,  by  their  strong 
traits  of  character,  and  by  their  whole  personal  appearance  have 
strikingly  resembled  the  Sinclairs  and  St.  Clairs  of  Scotland,  as 
recorded  both  'Mn  French  and  English  history."  And  what  does  this 
signify  ?  It  proclaims  the  curious  genealogical  fact  which  every  dis- 
cerning family  historian  has  not  failed  to  see,  that  the  mental  and 
physical  characteristics  of  a  family  are  often  transmitted  for  many 
generations,  and  for  centuries. 

The  similarity  of  christian  names  existing  among  the  Sinclairs  of 
Caithness  and  the  Sinclairs  of  the  New  World  will  not  fail  to  be 
noticed.  There  were  the  Johns,  the  Jameses,  the  Richards,  the  Davids, 
the  Janets,  and  many  others  in  Caithness  which  were  transplanted  to 
the  shores  of  New  Hampshire,  and  have  been  honorably  borne  even 
to  the  present  by  the  descendants  of  John  Sinkler  of  Exeter. 

Upon  this  subject  the  Hon.  Charles  Henry  St.  Clair  of  Morgan 
City,  La.,  a  great  great-grandson  of  the  James  St.  Clair  of  Albion, 
N.  v.,  BO  often  referred  to,  and  one  who  has  given  this  matter  a 
great  deal  of  time  and  vast  research,  says :  "I  feel  certain  that  John 
of  Exeter,  N.  H.,  was  that  John  who  was  son  of  Henry,  who  died 
of  paralysis  before  Kirkwall  and  Janet  Sutherland,  his  wife.  I  am 
convinced  and  shall  search  no  longer."  Then  he  alludes  to  the  busi- 
ness of  the  family  of  Henry  in  Sbotland — farming  and  fishing — and 
the  business  of  John,  his  son  in  Exeter — which  was  the  same. 
Henry  had  leased  from  his  brother.  Earl  George,  lands  of  Borrows- 
town  and  Lybster,  with  ''  miln  and  fishings,"  and  throws  up  a  part 
of  it  in  1606,  and  a  part  of  the  Sinclair  family  hold  this  down  to 
1670,  and  are  supposed  to  belong  to  the  stock  of  Henry.  Our  John 
probably  quits  Lybster  Reay,  goes  to  Edinburgh,  marries  Mary — 
and  turns  up  in  Exeter,  N.  H.,  in  1658,  and  has  there  a/re«  fishing 
besides  his  farm.  He  alludes  to  the  personal  looks  and  appearance, 
and  mental  characteristics  of  the  Scotch  and  American  Sinclairs, 
which  are  remarkably  alike. 

The  Hon.  Charles  Hem-y  St.  Clair.again  says:  ''In  the  year  1816 
James  St.  Clair  was  living  with  his  son  James,  Jr.,  in  Albion,  Orleans 
Co.,  New  York."  In  recommitting  to  his  relatives  the  history  of  bis 
family  he  said :  "Our  first  ancestor  in  America  was  named  John,  he 
came  to  America  from  near  Edinburgh,  Scotland.  His  father's  name 
was  Henry,  he  was  a  farmer.  We  are  related  to'Gren.  Arthur  St. 
Clair,  and  I  am  going  to  pay  him  a  visit."  The  visit  was  made  in 
1816 ;  the  General  was  then  living  at  Chestnut  Ridge,  Pa.  He  was 
gone  four  months,  three  of  which  were  spent  with  the  General,  whom 
he  helped  to  save  his  crops,  and  with  whom  he  had  long  talks  as  to 
their  relationship  and  family  geneal(^y.  On  his  return  he  reported 
these  things  to  his  family,  and  from  that  time  wrote  his  name  St. 
Claii'  instead  of  Sinclair,  this  being  the  first  knowledge  he  had  that 
the  real  and  true  name  was  St.  Clair.  In  personal  appearance  (as 
described  by  those  who  knew  him)  this  James  St.  Clair  would  have

"William  the  Seemly,"  of  William  St.  Clair,  the  first  Earl  of  Caith-

Mr.  St.  Clair  and  others  searched  by  correspondence  and  other

Ireland,  and  France  to  find  the  point  of  nnion  of  the  Exeter  immi-

Caithness,  of  Lakota,  North  Dakota,  loaned  to  the  author  of  this 
work  and  to  Mr.  St.  Clair  his  book,  "Notes  on  the  Caithness  Family 
History."  The  information  gleaned  from  that  is  now  liefore  the

SINCLAIRS   OF   SCOTLAND. 

The  Sinclairs  of  Scotland,  descendants  o'f  Walderne  by  his  son 
William  Sinclair,  are  very  numerous.  The  name  was  one  of  the 
fifty  most  common  ones  in  the  kingdom ;  by  the  census  of  1860,  and 
by  official  tables,  the  number  of  persons  bearing  it  was  9,880.*  The 
county  of  Caithness  is  still  its  stronghold,  and  the  earldom  is  still 
its  heritage.  The  family  is  understood  to  be  a  clan,  their  badge 
being  a  branch  of  whins,  and  their  tartan  red.  According  to  an  old 
superstition,  no  Sinclair  will  willingly  dress  in  green,  or  cross  the 
Ord  Mountain  on  Monday ;  for  forty  Sinclairs,  led  by  the  Earl  of 
Caithness,  and  clad  in  garments  of  that  color,  marched  by  that  road 
to  the  fatal  field  of  Flodden,  Sept.  9,  1513,  where  all  were  slain,  save 
the  drummer  boy,  who  was  dischai^ed  previous  to  the  battle.  In 
1745  the  Earl  of  Caithness,  the  head  of  the  Scottish  family,  could 
muster  one  thousand  men. 

One  of  the  most  celebrated  homes  of  the  race  in  Scotland  has 
been  Roslin  Castle;  another  was  Sinclair  Castle,  situated  on  the 
southeast  side  of  Sinclair  Bay,  on  a  bold  neck  of  land  in  the  central- 
eastern  portion  of  Scotland,  a  mile  to  the  west  of  Nosshead.  It  was 
one  of  the  chief  strongholds  of  the  ancient  E^rls  -of  Caithness,  of 
the  Sinclair  family.     It  was  erected  about  1606,  and  is  now  in  ruins. 

In  1612  Col.  George  Sinclair,  a  nephew  of  the  Earl  of  Caithness, 
and  a  soldier  of  fortune,  met  with  a  tragic  fate,  while  with  a  lai^e 
body  of  gome  900  Caithness  men  in  the  service  of  the  Swedish  king 
against  Norway.  While  passing  through  the  Pass  of  Kringelen,  in 
Norway,  a  narrow  defile,  they  were  beset  by  the  men  of  the  country, 
who  hurled  great  rocks  down  the  mountain  sides  upon  them,  while 
many  were  slain  witJi  firearms,  and  almost  the  entire  number  perished.

HOMES  OF  THE  SINCLAIRS  IN  ENGLAND  —  NOTED  PERSONS. 

The  Siuclairs  of  England  had  a  checkered  career  in  that  land. 
They  attained  the  most  elevated  positions.  In  spite  of  this  their 
family  name  was  hidden,  and  undoubtedly  lost  in  many  cases,  by  its 
membera  Iteiug  known  by  their  titles,  and  in  others,  following  the 
general  custom,  received  local  surnames  from  the  !ands  upon  which 
they  lived.  Prominent  branches  of  the  name  frequently  disappeared, 
which  may  be  accounted  for  in  this  manner.  Where  the  sons  did  not 
perpetuate  the  family  patronymic,  it  became  lost,  as  the  daughters 
were  mei^ed  in  other  families  with  which  they  united  their  destinies. 

The  family  of  the  Earl  of  Rye.  Hubert  Sinclair,  appears  to  have 
been  the  most  favored  and  honored  of  any  of  the  Conqueror's  favor- 
ites, or  adherents  of  this  lineage.  Eudo  Sinclair  had  the  famous 
castle,  and  great  possessions  at  Colchester,  England,  as  well  as  his 
castle  of  Preaux  in  Normandy.  His  brother,  Rudolph  Sinclair,  was 
Earl  of  Nottingham,  and  was  the  controller  of  its  wonderful  castle. 
Hubert  Sinclair,  their  brother,  had  the  strong  castle  of  Norwich  in 
his  guiding  hand.  These  three  brothers,  so  powerful,  and  being 
unit^,  could  wield,  and  did  wield,  a  mighty  influence  in  the  politics 
of  the  time ;  as  Hubert  did  in  the  placing  of  William  Ruf  us  on  the 
throne  of  his  deceased  father.  The  castle  and  town  of  Rochester 
were  held  by  Waldeme  St.  Clare  and  his  descendants. 

The  Aldhams,  members  of  the  lineage  who  took  the  surname  of 
Aldham  from  the  lands  on  which  they  resided,  were  descendants  of 
Richard  Sinclair,  the  son  ut  Waldeme,  or  Walter,  as  he  is  called 
sometimes.  Their  old  h^ne  is  now  joined  with  others,  and  is  called 
St.  Clere.  It  is  situated  some  twenty-five  miles  from  London,  in  the 
County  of  Kent,  near  Seven  Oaks,  and  two  miles  from  the  rare, 
quaint  village  of  Igb  tham.  Their  old  hall  still  exists,  as  a  relic  of 
the  interesting  paot.  It  is  hung  with  pictures,  guns,  stags'  horns, 
and  many  other  curious  and  rare  things  of  days  loi^  gone.  The 
newer  mansion  at  St.  Clere  is  owned  and  occupied  by  Sir  Mark  Wilke 
Collet,  and  is  situated  on  a  gentle  slope,  surrounded  with  elegant 
grounds,  green  fields,  and  forests  of  lofty  beeches,  dense  with  foliage, 
and  whose  heads  reach  high  into  the  sky.  One  would  travel  far 
to  find  a  lovlier  scene.     From  there  Ightham,  Seal,  Knockholt,  and

SINCLAIRS  IN  ENGLAND. 


Other  famous  localities  are  in  view.     Tlie  home  of  Adam  Sinclair, 

the  Commissioner  of  Domesday  Book,  is  a  short  distance  to  the  east. 

This  is  famous  ground,  aud  celebrated  jiersous  frequented  it,  ami 

impoitant  events  were  there  enacted. 

Guy  St.  Clair  and  wife,  Marjory  Neville,  in  1385,  held  Wynin 

Hall,  in  County  of  Norfolk.     Either  he  or  a  namesake  was  Constable 

of  Dover,  and  Warden  of  the  Cinque  Ports,  the  position  most  prized 

under  the  king. 

Robert  de  St.  Clair  possessed  estates  near  I3over,  and  the  manor 

of  Hastingleigh,  near  Ashford.     He  married  in  1331,  and  his  sons 

William,  Richard,  aud  Thomas  survived  him. 

Hugo  de  St.  Clare,  Minister  of  the  king,  and  nephew  of  Hamo 

St.  Clare,  the  dapifer,  had  estates  near  the  river  Thames,  of  which 

Aeslingham,  near  Rochester,  England,  was  the  home. 

Cicely  Sinclair,  daughter  of  Robert,  the  Knight  of  Rye,  wa«  Abbess 

of  the  nuunei7  of  Shaftesbury.     Her  sister,  Haurise  Sinclair,  was 

Abbess  of  Wilton,  in  County  of  Wilts. 

Another  fine  old  home  of  the  Sinclairs  is  near  St.  Edmondsbury, 

County  of  Suffolk,  called  Bradfleld  St.  Clare.     It  keeps  the  memory 

green   of  its   founder,  Gilbert   Sinclair,  Viscount  of  Norfolk   and 
Suffolk.     The  name  is  still  retained. 

Grimston  Manor,  Norfolk,  belonged  for  many  generations  to  the 
Santo-Clai-p  family. 

In  the  County  of  Essex  the  family  was  conspicuous  for  hundreds 
of  years.  In  1483,  when  King  Edwanl  IV.  was,  with  imposing 
ceremonies,  laid  away  to  sleep  his  long  sleep,  Sir  Thomas  St.  Claire 
had  a  leading  position  during  the  occasion. 

In  the  reign  of  Henry  VIII.,  up  to  1547,  Sir  John  Sinclair  was  a 
noted  character.  Hedington  Castle  was  the  home  of  one  portion  of 
the  lineage.  In  leaden  cotHns  in  the  Chapel  at  Danbury,  five  miles 
from  Chelmsford,  were  buried  several  knightly  Sinclairs  who  had 
followed  the  standai-d  of  the  cross  in  crusades  to  the  Holy  Land. 
"The  hill  of  Danbury,  Essex,  by  the  Thames,  beneath  London,  is  a 
landmark  and  a  tower  to  this  lineage,  as  it  had  been  for  ages  to  the 
world's  greatest  city ;  and  its  chapel  will  always  stand  fixed  to  mem- 
ory as  something  notable  that  has  been."  Another  says  of  them : 
"All  that  was  highest  in  marriage,  lands,  or  office  they  bad  in  Eng- 
land for  nearly  a  century  after  the  conquest,  and  the  glow  of  their 
fame,  and  theu-  physical  and  intellectual  powers,  k<  ipt  them  high  for 
centuries  aftei-wards  in  a  way  rare  to  any  one  particular  lineage." 


SINCLAIRS  IN  IRELAND. 

There  have  bee  .any  of  the  family  who  lived  in  Ireland,  and  num- 
erous representatives  of  the  name  are  there  now.  They  were  early 
in  the  Emerald  Isle.  On  a  tombstone  in  Comber,  County  of  Down, 
Ireland,  is  engraved  the  same  christian  names  of  Sinclairs  as  were

PROMINENT   SINCLAIRS   OV   ALL   NATIONS. 

Sir  Andrew  Sinclair  was  a  noted  flgui-e  among  the  Sinclairs  of 
Denmark,  and  was  ambassador  from  the  Danish  court  to  King 
James  I.  of  *" ..   \nd. 

Count  Ml  <■<  'in  Sinclair  of  Sweden  was  an  ambassador  to  the  Porte 
during  the  reign  of  Empress  Catherine,  and  died  by  violence. 

Sinclairs  have  been  in  high  positions  in  Russia,  Germany,  and 
Noi-way,  and  representatives  of  the  family  are  living  there  to-day. 

Rev.  JohnSinclair  was  a  prominent  figure  at  the  siege  of  London- 
derry, Ireland,  1688-'8y,  and  there  is  a  family,  resident  in  the  Emer- 
ald Isle,  for  more  than  200  years  of  position  and  influence. 

In  Australia,  Africa,  and  America  are  offshoots  of  the  same  stock. 

In  Scotland  the  name  has  long  been  famous,  before  and  since  the 
founding  of  Roslin  Castle,  and  members  of  the  family  have  been  lords 
of  Roslin,  dukea  of  Oldenburg  in  Denmark,  nobles  of  Noi-way,  princes 
of  Orkney  and  Shetland,  and  earls  of  Caithness. 

A  chevalier  Von  Sinclair  was  distinguished  as  a  dramatist  in  Ger- 
many. 

Cardinal  Hugo  Sancto  Claro,  who  in  the  13th  century  flourished 
greatly,  first  put  the  Bible  into  verses  and  was  the  author  of  one  of  the 
ablest  and  longest  commentaries  upon  it,  was  of  this  blood,  though  his 
name  is  slightly  changed  by  its  Italian  form. 

From  1600  to  1622  in  the  University  of  Paris  David  Sinclaur  was 
one  of  its  most  noted  professors  in  mathematics. 

In  the  old  hive  of  the  family,  Normandy,  in  recent  times,  have 
been  noted  persons  of  the  lineage,  but  in  all  characteristics  entirely 
French.  Charles  Ferdinand,  Baron  de  St.  Clair  in  1820,  was  a  colo- 
nel of  cavalry,  and  loyal  to  the  Bourbon  prince.  His  military  career 
was  remarkable,  having  been  wounded  eighteen  times  during  twenty- 
three  years'  service,  and  had  gained  many  decorations.  His  papers 
are  published  in  book  form.^ 

Thus  this  family,  never  so  numerous  or  prolific  as  some  others,  yet 
its  members  widely  scattered,  have  occupied  elevated  positions  and 
exerted  commanding  influence. 

The  history  of  the  Sinclairs  now  passes  from  the  Old  World  to  the 
New. 

In  the  preceding  pages  the  names  St.  T'lair,  or  Sinclair,  have  been 
largely  used  interehang^ably,  as  they  were  »o  found  in  the  authorities 
consulted.  Often  both  forms  of  the  name  were  employed  in  relation 
to  the  same  individual.

SINCLAIRS    IN    TH^    NEW    WORLD. 

Enough  has  already  been  giVen  to  show  the  origin  of  this  knightly 
family ;  the  part  its  valiant  members  took  when  they  with  William 
the  Conqueror  invaded  England  and  helped  to  siibtUie  it.  The  sub- 
seqnent  career  of  these  Norman  Sinclair  warriors  has  been  briefly 
told,  and  passing  glimpses  have  been  hurriedly  caught  upon  other 
soil  than  that  of  Normandy  of  their  descendants. 

The  princely  domains  of  the  Sinclairs  in  various  countries,  their 
homes  in  feudal  castles  in  England  and  Scotland,  and  other  lands  of 
vastness,  and  wonderful  strength  have  been  noted  and  described; 
and  many  of  the  illustrious  ones  of  this  race  in  these  countries,  with 
their  notable  deeds,  have  been  alluded  to  during  the  eight  hundred 
years  succeeding  the  Conquest. 

It  will  now  be  well  to  turn  from  the  parent  families  in  Europe, 
whose  members  have  been  so  familiar  with  rulera,  and  mingled  so 
freely  in  royal  courts  and  in  the  din  of  anns,  to  offshoots  of  this 
same  race,  planted  upon  American  soil,  brought  up  under  American 
skies,  developetl  and  broadened  under  the  enlightening  and  broaden- 
ing  influence  of  American  institutions,  and  who  have  become  Amer- 
icans. Their  career  in  a  different  sphere  under  different  circumstances 
has  been  as  honorable  as  that  of  members  of  the  parent  stock,  and 
more  beneficial  to  their  brethen,  —  who  are  all  mankind.  For  two 
hundred  and  thirty  years  the  American  Sinclairs  have  in  various 
ways,  as  citizens,  as  gallant  soldiers  in  all  wars,  as  brave,  hardy 
pioneers  planting  civilization  in  the  waste  places  of  the  land,  and 
laying  deep  and  broad  the  foundation  for  prosperous  communities, 
have  aided  in  building  and  developing  the  great  Republic,  and  as  true 
and  loyal  citizens  they  live  to-day  in  all  parts  of  this  Western 
Hemisphere.

FIRST   SINCLAIRS    IN   AMERICA.

Since  America  was  first  settled  by  Europeans  many  persons  by  the 
name  of  Sinclair  or  St.  Clair  have  come  to  these  shores.  Pievious 
to  the  year  A.  I).  1700,  however,  their  coming  was  as  rare  as  angel's 
visits.  Very  few  of  the  family  were  in  the  country  at  the  time 
of  the  American  Revolution,  and  they  were  largely  the  descendants 
of  a  few  individuals  who  had  settled  here  a  long  time  previously. 
From  that  date  up  to  1840  individuals  of  the  family  occasionally 
sought  a  home  on  this  side  of  the  blue  sea.  Since  1«40,  or  within 
fifty  years,  there  have  been  repeated  immigrations  of  individuals  bear- 
ing this  patronymic,  and  they  and  their  descendants  are  now  found 
in  all  our  large  cities,  and  also  scattered  into  all  sections  of  the 
country.  Yet,  considering  the  density  and  numbers  of  the  popula- 
tion, it  never  has  been,  and  is  not  now,  very  numerous  in  America. 

From  authentic  sources  the  following  list  has  been  prepared  of  Sin- 
clairs  who  were  early  in  America,  with  the  time  of  their  departure 
from  the  Old  World,  or  the  year  of  their  appearance  in  tlie  New  : 

Salamon  Sinclare*  was  among  the  passengers  in  the  ship  John  and 
Sara,  which  sailed  from  London  for  America. 

John  Slnkler  was  In  Exeter,  N.  H.,  where  his  son,  James  SInkler, 
was  born  July  27, 1060,  and  his  son  John  and  other  children  soon 
after  that  date.  He  was  the  progenitor  of  the  Stnklers  and  Sin- 
clatrs  of  New  Hampshire,  and  his  numerous  descendants  are 
Id  hU  sections  of  the  United  States  and  Canada. 

The  emigrant  Robert  Sinclair  came  to  New  York.  "He  was  son 
of  James  Sinclair,  a  lineal  descendant  of  the  Earis  of  Orkney 
and  Caithness."  ^   ^  „    .. 

Alexander  Slnklalre  was  a  resident  of  St.  Michaels,  Island  of  Barba- 
does,  and  had  ten  acres  of  Und.

Charles  Slnkler,  apparently  an  offiihoot  of  the  Exeter,  N.  H.,  fam- 
ily, was  In  the 'military  service  of  New  Hampshire,  probably 
against  Port  Royal. 

Robert  Slnkler,  perhaps  a  son  of  John  Slnkler,  the  early  settler  In 
Exeter,  N.  H.,  was  a  resident  of  Wells,  Me.,  before  March  18, 
1714. 

David  Sinclair  died  In  Boston,  Mass.,  Nov.  9,  1717. 

William   inolairt  came  to  New  England.  He  was  born  In  the  parish 
of  Drumbloo,  County  of  Down,  Ireland,  la  1676.    In  1735  he 
settled  In  Spencer,  Mass.,  and  died  there  July  4, 1758;  had  wife 
Mary,  who  died  Aug.  9, 1765,  se  79  years ;  had  daughters : 
Anna,  married  John  Cunningham. 
Mary,  married  May  6, 1738,  Jonas  Mayes.

Elizabeth,  married  John  Dunn  of  Northbridge,  Mass. 

Duncan  Sinclair  of  Bostoii  married  Agnes  McQueston  Aug.  21, 1746. 

John  Sinclair,  a  political  exile  from  Scotland,  appeared  In  the  Amer- 
ican colonies ;  located  In  Virginia,  and  has  desceiulants  In  Loudon 
Co.,  Va.,  Georgetown,  Ky.,  Springfield,  III.,  Ottawa,  111.,  and

IJesidcs  IheBc,  many  Sinclairs  have  Hei-ved  in  the  wars  of  the  coun- 
try either  as  privates  or  offleers  in  the  volunteer  forees  of  the  several 
states,  as  will  l)e  noticed  in  the  investigation  of  this  history. 

ORTHOGRAPHY    OF   THE    NAME. 

The  authoritative  manner  of  writing  or  spelling  the  name  is  Saint 
Clair,  or  its  contraction  St.  Clair.  The  name  of  the  earliest  known 
immigrant  to  America  of  the  family  was  spelled  Sinclare,  the  second 
Sinkler,  the  tliird  Sinklaire.  The  name  of  the  New  Hampshire  fam- 
ily was  called  and  spelled  Sinkler,  and  so  was  a  Virginia  family 
which  appeared  nearly  a  century  after.  At  the  present  time  the 
Sinkler  form  of  writing  it  has  almost  entirely  disappeared,  although 
in  does  still  prevail  among  representatives  of  one  branch  of  the  fam- 
ily in  Virginia. 

Within  half  a  century  many  of  the  descendants  of  the  first  Sinklers, 
living  in  various  portions  of  the  country,  have  changed  their  name  to 
St.  Clair  or  Sinclair,  and  in  some  instances  have  written  it  Sinclear 
and  Sincleare.  At  the  present  time  these  various  forms  are  generally 
understood  to  be  the  same  patronymic,  and  the  maniler  of  writing 
and  pronouncing  it  have  become  largely  a  matter  of  individual  taste. 
Indeed,  in  public  documents,  the  same  individual's  name  frequently 
appears  in  each  form.  In  the  Directory  of  London,  England,  both 
names  are  inserted  under  the  heading  "Sinclair,  St.  Clair." 

Saint  Clare,  Saint  Clair,  or  its  contraction  St.  Clair,  was  the  origi- 
nal orthography  as  it  came  from  the  martyr  Saint  Clare,  the  hermit 
on  the  shore  of  the  Kpte.     He  was  the  first  St.  Clair.     In  Scotland

JOHN  SINKLER  OF  BXETBR,  N.  H.,  1658,  AND  HIS  DEMCENUANT8.— ORTHOO- 
RAI'HY  OP  THEIR  NAME,  ANI>  ITS  CHANGES  BY  DirrERENT  BRANCHES 
OF  HIS   DESCENDANTS. 

The  name  was  spelled  phonetically.  In  New  Hampshire  John 
Sinkler,  the  early  settler  in  Kxeter,  in  I6.1H,  spelled  his  name  Sinkler, 
and  this  was  the  usual  method  for  a  long  period.  The  same  is  true 
of  the  Sinklers  of  Virginia,  and  of  Robert  Sinkler  (perhaps  a  son 
of  John  of  Kxeter),  who  was  in  Wells,  Me.,  in  1714,  and  among  his 
early  descendants. 

John  Sinkler'  of  Kxeter  wrote  his  name  Sinkler,  or  it  was  written 
for  him  in  many  instances. 

James  Sinkler^  on  a  t)etition  Jan.  14,  1715-16,  signed  his  name 
James  Sinkler. 

.lohn  Sinkler*  of  Stratham,  N.  H.,  son  of  James*,  on  same  petition 
signed  his  name  Sinkler. 

Kbenezer  Sinkler*,  another  son,  on  July  18,  1744,  signed  his  name 
to  a  petition  in  the  same  manner. 

Richard  Sinklei**,  another  son,  of  Stratham,  signed  a  remonstrance 
July  26,  1744,  in  the  usual  way. 

Samuel  Sinkler*  of  Newmarket,  N.  H.,  Nov.  21,  1746,  affixed  his 
name  to  a  petition  in  like  manner. 

Joseph  Sinkler*,  son  of  James*,  then  of  Newmarket,  aftei-ward 
Pembroke,  N.  H.,  June  5,  1745,  appends  his  name  to  a  document  as 
Sinclare.  He  signs  a  petition  with  Samuel  Sinkler  and  others  Nov. 
21,  1746,  as  Joseph  Sinkler.  In  a  petition  from  Buckstreet,  after- 
ward Pembroke,  in  175H,  when  he  signed  a  petition  with  his  sons, 
John,  later  of  Essex,  Vt.,  and  Thomas,  later  of  Sanbomtou  (the 
father  of  James  Sinclair  of  Barre,  N.  Y.),  he  and  John  append  their 
names  as  Sinkler,  while  Thomas  signs  as  Sinckler.  He  signs  another 
petition  Sept.  3,  1767,  from  Pembroke,  as  Joseph  Sinkler.

1770,  it  is  Thomas  Kinclear,  a  style  adopted  by  some  branches  of  the 
family  at  the  present.  Thomas  Kinkier,  when  he  signed  the  asB(M>ia-

the  town  books  as  surveyor  of  highways  it  was  Kinder.  In  1777  he 
was  a  mem,ber  of  Capt.  Chase  Taylor's  company  in  the  Revolutionary

Vt.,  RuBselltown,  Ctinnda,  and  who  died  in  KatTe,  N.  V.,  Jan.  2(i, 
1H36,  shared  the  isduic  cxiKTience.  He  is  called  James  Kinkier  in 
the  return  of  the  Mi>rc«litli  Revolutionary  soldiers.  In  the  return 
of  MaJ.  Benjamin  Wiiitconib's  rangers,  when  he  and  his  uncle 
Joseph  Kinclair  of  KaiitM)rnton  served  side  by  side  during  the  term 
of  his  enlistment,  'S^K  mouths  and  7  days,"  their  names  ap|K>ar  as 
•lames  Kinclear  and  Joseph  Kinclear,  and  on  the  Depreciation  rolls 
they  are  called  Kiiicluir.  On  a  {letition  Nov.  27,  17H1,  he  signs 
himself  James  Kinclear.  He  is  called  James  Kinder  in  17H4.  In  his 
discharge  paiiers,  in  the  Pension  Otflce  in  Washington,  I).  C,  in 
178H,  his  name  was  spelled  Kinclear,  and  he  wrote  his  name  in  that 
manner  in  his  application  for  a  (tension  June  12,  IHIH.  In  Sept., 
1820,  he  signed  his  name  Kt.  Clajr.  His  son,  James  8t.  Clair,  statetl 
that  his  father  in  his  lifetime  signed  his  name  Sinclair.  Almost,  if 
not  all,  of  the  descendants  of  this  James  Sinclair  at  present  write 
their  names  St.  Clair.  The  descendants  of  his  brothers  Thomas  and 
Zebulon  of  Meredith,  the  most  of  those  of  Benjamin  in  Hardwick, 
Vt.,  and  of  his  uncle  John  Sinclair  of  Essex,  Vt.,  spell  their  name 
Sinclair ;  while  the  descendants  of  his  cousins,  Jacob  Sinclair  of  New

St.  Clair.

LANDS  GRANTED  TO  SINKLERS. 


20  acres  to  John  Sinkler  Jan.  31, 1681.  This  was  probably  John  Sinkler^ 
son  of  JohnS  and  brother  of  James  Sinkler^. 

no  acres  to  James  Sinkler'  in  1698. 

100  acres  to  ''  John  Sinkler,  son  of  James,"  on  the  first  Monday  of  April, 
1705.  This  was  Capt.  John  Sink1er»  of  Stratham,  N.  H.'  Stratham 
was  a  portion  of  Exeter  till  1710. 

30  acres  to  John  Sinkler  on  the  first  Monday  of  April,  1706.  Ttiis  vrai 
probably  to  the  same  person, — John  Sinkler'  had  passed  away  pre- 
vious to  Sept.  14,  1700,  when  hit)  will  was  proven.  His  son  John 
Sinkler^  then  was  living  in  Exeter.  The  latter  had  a  son  John  Sink- 
ler*, also  of  Exeter. 

In  1725  a  committee  appointed  by  the  town  of  Exeter  prepared  a 
list  of  the  residents  of  the  town  with  the  amount  of  public  land 
allotted  to  each  individual.  The  following  is  what  relates  to  thid 
family : 

100  acres  to  John  Sinkler,  Sr.,  in  1725.  This  w^as  to  John  Sinkler',  son  of 
John'. 

30  acres  to  John  Sinkler,  Jr.,  in  1725.  This  was  John  Sinkler*,  son  of 
John  Sinkler^',  Sr.,  the  only  John  Sinkler  living  in  Exeter.  Stratham 
had  been  set  off  from  Exeter  in  1716,  and  Capt.  John  Sinkler*,  son 
of  James  Sinkler',  was  then  a  resident  of  that  town. 

100  acres  to  James  Sinkler  in  1723.  This  was  James',  son  of  John',  the 
only  James  Sinkler  of  the  family  at  that  date. 

40  acres  to  Joseph  Sinkler  in  172.5.  This  was  Joseph  Sinkler*,  son  of  James, 
as  shown  in  the  latter's  will.  He  was  of  Exeter.  The  parish  of  New- 
market was  set  off  from  Exetek  .^nd  incorporated  Dee.  15,  1727  He 
was  a  resident  of  what  is  now  South  Newmarket  about  1731,  when 
he,  and  his  sons  Thomas  and  John,  and  others  removed  to  Pembroke, 
N.  H. 

40  acres  to  Richard  Sinkler  in  1725.  This  was  Richard  Sinkler*,  son  of 
James',  as  shown  by  the  wiU'of  the  latter.  He  was  then  of  Exeter, 
but  was  married  soon  after,  on  June  21, 1728,  and  settled  in  Stratham, 
where  he  died  July  9, 1751. 

40  acres  to  Samuel  Sinkler  in  1725.  It  is  uncertain  which  Samuel  Sinkler 
this  was.  There  were  two  Samuels  then  in  Exeter :  Samuel*,  son  of 
John',  and  his  cousin  Saumel*,  son  of  James  Sinkler'., 

Thus  far  six  hundred  and  thii-ty-five  acres  of  land  bad  been  be- 
stowed by  the  town  upon  members  of  the  Sinkler  family.  Ceilainly 
not  an  amount  to  be  complained  of. 

It  will  be  noticed  that  many  grants  of  land  to  this  family  occurred 
in  1725,  when  a  committee  of  the  town  reported  this  amount  as 
belonging  to  these  parties,  as  their  proportion  in  the  final  distribution 
of  the  public  lands  of  Exeter.  But  this  distribution  did  not  actually 
occur  till  several  years  later.

to  her,  and  ever  listened  to  the  multitudinous  voices  with  which  she 
always  speaks  to  those  who  love  her.  They  were  familiar  with  the 
lore  of  the  hills  and  the  woods,  and  never  shunned  hardship  or 
fatigue.  They  had  strong  physiques,  stalwart  frames,  great  powers 
of  endurance,  feared  not  danger,  were  ardently  fond  of  athletic 
sports  and  feats  of  strength  or  skill.  They  had  much  mechanical 
know^ledgc  which  was  always  employed  in  the  development  of  new 
communitias,  and  towns,  and  states.  They  also  had  the  faculty  of 
being  practical,  and  could,  and  would,  turn  their  minds  and  hands  to 
any  necessary  employment.  In  truth,  it  has  during  its  nearly  250 
years  residence  in  this  country  been  an  eminently  practical  family. 
They  have  loved  the  actinties  and  rush  of  private  life,  and  the  exper- 
iences of  a  frontiersman  much  better  than  books,  much  more  than  the 
studies  of  the  scholar,  or  than  the  achievements  of  professional  life. 
Always  have  they  been  intensely  patriotic.  They  loved  the  military 
profession.  In  every  war  since  they  came  to  America,  they  have  been 
among  the  first  in  the  fray,  and  the  last  to  quit.  Their  sacrifices 
have  been  great,  and  members  of  the  race  have  sometimes  given 
life  itself  for  their  king  and  country;  and  later  to  establish  the 
Republic,  and  then  to  preserve  it.

CHAPTER    VI. 

JOHN  SINKLER  OF  EXETER.  N.  H.,  AND  HIS  DESCENDANTS.* 

In  the  early  spring  of  1638  a  small  company  of  in-voluutary 
emigrants  from  Massachusetts  appeared  in  the  wilderness  about  the 
Falls  of  Squamscott  in  New  Hampshire,  and  erected  their  humble 
habitations  and  made  their  homes.  Unlike  many  in  the  two  previ- 
ously formed  settlements  in  the  state,  they  did  not  come  from  motives 
of  worldly  greed,  but  for  the  precious  privilege  of  entertaining  their 
own  religious  tenets,  and  worshipping  Got!  in  confov  .  'ty  with  them, 
and  not  in  accordance  with  the  opinions  and  practici.  >  permitted  by 
the  powers,  civil  and  religious — mainly  one — which  existed  in  Massa- 
chusetts Bay. 

This  made  the  third  organized  community  in  the  state ;  the  place 
was  Exeter,  and  the  settlers  were  Rev.  John  Wheelwright,  who  had 
been  disfranchised  and  expelled  from  Massachusetts,  and  his  loving 
followers.  This  community  was  continually  increasing  in  numbers 
and  importance  by  the  addition  of  people  from  older  places,  and  from 
the  old  world. 

THE  COMING  OF  JOHN  SINKLER. 

1.  John  SinklerS  the  founder  of  the  Exeter,  N.  H.,  family  of 
this  name,  appeared  in  that  place,  seeking  liberty,  fortune,  and  a 
home,  in  a  score  of  yeai*s  after  its  establishment.  He  is  the  second 
known  person  of  this  patronymic  to  land  upon  American  soil.  He 
was  an  offshoot  of  one  of  the  oldest,  strongest,  and  most  renowned 
families  of  Great  Britain,  whose  lineage  goes  back  through  centuries 
of  history  to  the  sunny  land  of  France,  to  the  castles  of  St.  Clere 
and  St.  Lo,  and  the  historic  bank  of  the  river  Epte,  and  still  faither 
to  the  misty  North-land.  Members  of  his  stock  had  been  famous  iu 
lands  filled  with  illustrious  men. 

The  settlement  was  weak,  to  which  had  come  this  scion  of  an  illus- 
trious family.  Mr.  Sinkler  appeared  in  Exeter  as  early  as  1658,  for 
on  Jan.  6,  1659,  he  purchased  ten  acres  of  land,  and  is  mentioned  in 
the  deed  as  of  Exeter.  The  following  is  a  copy  of  the  instrument, 
and  is  the  first  deed  of  land  to  John  Sinkler.  It  is  found  upon  the 
Old  Norfolk  County  Records,  at  Salem,  Mass. :

Even  in  the  new  settlement  the  subject  of  this  sketch  did  not 
escape  the  common  trials  of  humanity.  Emigrants  from  other  lands 
brought  their  selfish  desires  with  them  to  the  new  abode.  Their  hope 
for  the  betterment  of  self  was  often  at  the  neglect,  and  sometimes  at 
the  sacrifice,  of  the  rights  of  others.  All  were  not  good  neighbors 
then  any  more  than  now,  which  this  eai'ly  resident  found  to  his 
sorrow. 

As  there  was  trouble  about  boundaries,  two  of  his  neighbors  agreed 
to  the  following :

Like  all  good  citizens,  he  was  interested  in  the  wclfai-e,  the  success, 
safety,  and  prosperity  of  the  institutions  of  government  under  which 
he  lived,  and  which  afforded  protection  to  all.  So,  on  Nov.  30,  1677, 
"John  Sinkler  took  oath  of  allegiance  to  his  Majestic  and  fidelity  to 
y*  country." 

Land  was  abundant,  and  easily  obtained  as  grants  from  the 
commons  belonging  to  the  town.  The  first  residents  of  Exeter  fre- 
quently made  application  for  this,  and  these  grants  were  frequently 
voted  if)  them  by  the  freeholders  in  town  meeting  assembled.  On 
April  6, 1678,  John  Sinkler's  name  appears  among  the  list  of  applicants. 
He  was  a  sturdy  man,  with  fi-ugality,  pluck,  and  persistence.  He 
strove  to  add  to  his  worldly  possessions.  He  purchased  Dec.  6,  1678, 
twenty  acres  of  upland  in  Exeter  of  David  and  Elizabeth  Robinson. 
They  agi-eed  that  "s*  John  Sinckler  shall  have  y*  liberty  of  free 
ingress,  egress,  and  regress,  to  y*  twenty  acres  of  land  through  any 
part  of  s**  Robinson's  vacant  land." 

On  Jan.  23,  1680,  Exeter  granted  him  twenty  acres.  The  pioneer 
was  prosperous.  His  acreage  was  enlarged  from  year  to  year ;  his 
resouroes  multiplied.  But  he  owed  duties  to  the  state  and  town, 
whose  laws  like  a  protecting  canopy  were  over  him,  and  as  a  mantle 
covered  him,  and  gave  protection.  These  duties  he  did  not  and 
could  not  evade,  and  was  obliged  to  contribute  of  his  substance  for 
the  support  of  the  government.

The  political  affairs  did  not  run  smoothly  at  that  period.  The 
separation  of  New  Hampshii-e  from  Massachusetts  and  its  erection 
into  a  separate  province,  when  its  government  went  into  operation 
January,  1680,  was  due  mainly  to  the  solicitation,  and  was  largely 
for  the  benefit  of  Robert  Mason,  the  heir  of  John  Mason,  the 
patentee  of  New  Hampshire,  who  claimed  New  Hampshire  soil  as  his 
inherited  property.  Accordingly,  at  the  request  of  Robert  Mason, 
Eldward  Cranfield,  a  stranger  to  the  inhabitants,  and  a  despotic, 
arbitrary  man,  was  appointed  governor  and  hia  administration  com- 
menced  in  October,  1683.  His  acts  were  oppressive,  and  he  was 
held  in  utter  detestation  by  the  people.  A  small  rebellion  broke  forth 
in  Exeter.  Some  of  the  participants  were  tried  for  treason,  but 
were  afterward  pardoned  by  the  king.  Public  feeling  ran  high  at 
this  period,  and  a  strong  petition  was  gotten  up  against  him  which 
was  signed  by  John  Sinkler.  His  name  appears  on  a  petition  Feb. 
20,  1689-90,  to  the  government.  The  petitioners  prayed  for  protec- 
tion against  the  common  enemy  (the  Indians)  and  that  the  military 
officera  of  the  train  soldiers  should  be  chosen  by  the  soldiers  of  the 
respective  towns.  A  fac-simile  is  given  of  the  signature  to  this 
petition,  although  there  is  doubt  of  its  being  a  genuine  autograph :

It  is  not  likely  that  John  Sinkler  held  any  public  office,  as  the 
records  make  no  such  disclosure. 

This  closes  the  public  history,  as  fully  as  it  can  be  gleaned  from 
scanty  records,  of  this  pioneer  of  Exeter.  He  was  one  of  the  earliest 
settlers  in  the  state,  and  his  history  has  never  before  been  written. 
He  was  the  first  generation  of  his  family  in  a  new  country,  and  the 
progenitor  of  a  family  of  pioneers,  in  many  generations.  He  was 
the  founder  of  the  Sinkler  family  in  New  Hampshire,  the  membera 
of  whose  divetging  lines,  as  apparent  by  this  book,  are  numerous  ^a

public  office,  as  the 

3an  be  gleaned  from 
as  one  of  the  earliest 
jefore  been  written, 
ew  country,  and  the 
inerations.  He  was 
jshire,  the  members 
}k,  are  numerous  ^a 

id  in  the  State  House, 


the  sands  on  the  shore  of  the  sea,  and  are  scattered  widely  over  the 
earth.  Tlie  knowledge  of  his  traits  of  character,  the  varying  quali- 
ities  of  his  mind  have  passed  into  oblivion.  That  lie  took  an  interest 
in  municipal  and  state  affairs  is  plainly  evident.  That  he  was  not 
untrue  to  tlie  sturdy  blood  which  flowed  in  his  veins,  and  to  the  love 
of  liberty  which  he  had  inherited  from  a  brave  ancestry,  is  evidenced 
by  his  signing  the  vigorous  protest  against  the  tyrannical  acts  of 
Governor  Cranfleld.  That  he  was  frugal,  industrious,  and  energetic, 
is  shown  by  his  successful  accumulation  of  this  ^irorld's  goods,  with 
which  to  cheer  and  bless  himself  and  his  family,  not  only  in  the  tried 
maturity  of  their  powers,  but  "in  the  sers  and  yellow  leaf"  of  life. 
His  abode  was  on  Wheelwright's  creek*.  Of  his  home  life  and 
domestic  relations  little  is  known.  He  was  bom  in  Scotland,  probably 
about  1630,  as  be  was  in  Exeter  and  owned  land  in  16.59,  and  was 
married  about  that  time,  as  is  apparent  by  the  record  of  bis  children. 

He  m.  Mary ,  who  was  living  on  the  27th  of  April,  1667,  and 

hor  death  did  not  probably  occur  for  many  years  afterward.     He  m. 

2d,  Deborah .     She  was  a  good  business  manager,  as  she  made 

a  business  contract  with  Mr.  Sinkler  before  their  marriage.  She  was 
a  Christian  and  a  member  of  the  church  in  Hampton,  N.  H.  After 
the  withdrawal  of  Rev.  Mr.  Wheelwright  and  his  followers  to  Wells, 
Me.,  about  1642,  and  the  assumption  of  Jurisdiction  over  New 
Hampshire  by  Massachusetts,  there  was  no  church  organized  in 
Exeter  for  several  years,  and  for  six  years  they  were  without  preach- 
ing. Though  regular  services  were  held  after  1660,  yet  many  of  the 
residents  connected  themselves  with  the  church  in  Hampton  and  other 
towns.  This  may  explain  the  fact  of  Mrs.  Sinkler's  membership  of 
the  church  of  that  town.  In  1698  (Sept.  11),  upon  the  formation  of 
the  First  Congregational  churoh,  thirteen  persons  were  "dismissed 
in  order  to  their  being  incorporated  into  a  church  state  in  Exeter." 
(Hampton  Records.)  Among  them  was  Mrs.  Deborah  Sinkler. 
She  was  living  Jan.  7,  1699-1700,  and  the  time  of  her  death  is 
unknown. 

John  Sinkler,  on  Jan.  7,  1699-1700,  "being  sick  of  body  but  of 
sound  &  perfect  minde  and  memory,"  for  which  he  expressed  devout 
thankfulness,  did  make  his  last  will  and  testament,  which  is  here  given. 
It  was  admitted  to  the  Probate  Court  Sept.  14,  1700,  showing  that 
he  died  between  the  above  dates.  He  was  probably  buried,  with 
many  others  of  the  earliest  siettlers  in  the  earliest  cemetery,  on  the 
"north  western  slope  of  meeting  bouse  hill,"  in  Exeter,  near  the  site 
of  the  first  meeting-house.  There  are  no  memorial  stones  to  mark 
the  resting  places  of  the  quiet  sleepers.  For  one  hundred  and  ninety- 
four  years  he  has  rested  in 

"  The  lone  oouota  of  his  everlasting  sleep." 

Thus  closes  the  history  of  this  early  settler  of  New  Hampshire. 

*  This  is  a  small  creek  in  the  eastern  part  of  Exeter,  upon  whose  banks 
many  of  the  early  residents  lived.  Its  head  is  above  the  water  works. 
The  overflow  of  the  reservoir  flows  into  it,  then  into  the  Sqoamsoott  river, 
and  later  into  the  Atlantic  ocean.

7.  .lamBB  Sinkler*  [2]  (.Tohn>).  He  wbh  born  in  Kxeter,  N.  11., 
July  27,  IfifiO,  and  there  wan  always  hiB  home.  It  wbb  near  "Wheal 
Right's  creek,"  and  he  coiled  himself  husbandman.  With  the  inter- 
ests of  his  native  town  lie  was  closely  identified  and  was  a  loyal 
citizen  of  the  stote.  At  the  early  age  of  16  years  he  rendered  mili- 
tary service  in  King  Philip's  war,  in  Capt.  John  Holbrook's  company. 

He  took  the  oath  of  allegiance  to  the  state  Nov.  HO,  1677.  In 
16H2,  April  13,  his  province  rate  In  Kxeter  was  Is  6d.  He  signed 
tt  i)aper  protesting  against  the  course  of  the  despotic  Governor  Cran- 
field,  whose  tyrannical  acts  raised  a  storm  of  Indignation  In  the  state. 
Like  his  father  and  brother,  he  signed  a  petition  Feb.  20,  1689-90,  to 
the  "  Bay  Government,"  asking  protection  against  the  common  enemy, 
and  asking  that  the  privilege  of  electing  their  own  otHcers  might  be 
accorded  to  the  trained  soldleiu  of  the  respective  towns. 


This  Is  a  fac-slmlle  of  his  autograph  as  it  appears  upon  the  peti- 
tion.    (Mass.  Archives,  Vol.  35,  p.  228.) 

He  was  constable  of  Exeter  In  1694  and  In  1697,  and  was  juryman 
at  the  Superior  Court  In  Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  Aug.  10,  1703;  was 
selectman  of  Exeter  In  1695,  1700,  1706,  and  1721.  He  was  a  sol- 
dier, and  his  account  of  allowance  for  personal  services  at  Newbury 
blockhouses  In  1704  was  £2  18s  6d. 

From  1702  to  April  11,  1713,  "Queen  Anne's  War"  kept  New 
England  in  a  continual  ferment,  and  the  New  Hampshire  colony  was 
in  constant  unrest  and  fear,  and  suffered  severely. 

The  French  and  Indians  bung  like  fearful  clouds  about  her  Infant 
settlements.  They  pillaged,  destroyed  the  crops,  committed  vast 
numbers  of  dwellings  to  the  flames,  massacred  the  Inhabitants,  or 
carried  those  away  who  escaped  the  scalping  knife  and  tomahawk  into 
a  captivity  so  wretched  and  dark  as  to  be  almost  worse  than  death. 
Men  took  their  weapoas  to  the  fields  for  protection  when  they  went 
about  their  daily  toll. 

Exeter,  the  home  of  the  Sinklers,  had  been  marked  by  the  enemy 
for  destruction.  Only  the  accidental  discovery  of  the  Indians  as  they 
lay  In-  ambush  prevented  a  general  destruction  of  lives  and  property.

20.  John  Sinkler,  Jr.*  [6]  (John»).  He  was  born  in  Exeter.  >;.  H., 
about  1668.  His  name  does  not  appear  in  family  I'ecord  of  his  father 
upon  the  public  books  of  Exeter,  and  in  the  "Old  Norfolk  County" 
records  at  Salem,  Mass. 

On  Feb.  20,  1689-90,  he  signed  a  petition,  addi-essed  to  the  gov- 
ernment of  Massachusetts,  asking  protection  against  the  common  en- 
emy, and  asking  that  military  officers  might  be  chosen  by  the  trained 
soldiers  of  their  respective  commands.

A'fac-simile  of  the  signature  as  it  appears  upon  the  original  pe- 
tition. There  is  a  doubt  as  to  its  genuineness.  (Mass.  Archives, 
Vol.  35,  p.  228.     State  Dep't,  Boston,  Mass.) 

In  1709  his  name  again  appears  upon  a  petition  to  the  government. 
•He  was  a  constable  of  Exeter  June  5,  1711-rl2,  and  sei-ved  as 
juror  Feb.  14,  1715-16,  and  at  the  court  which  was  in  session  Aug. 
27,  1717,  and  Was  on  the  grand  jiu-y  Feb.  9,  1719-20. 

Being  prosperous  and  increased  in  goods,  he  puiphased  house  and 
lands  in  Exeter  of  Alexander  Magoon,  Feb.  9,  1726.  On  June  20, 
1729,  he  deeded  one  half  of  his  lands  and  estate  to  his  "beloved 
son  John  Sinkler  of  sd  Exeter."  His  wife  was  Elizabeth,  daughter 
of  John  Bean,  Sr.,  of  Exeter,  who  was  born  in  that  town  Sept.  24, 
1678,  and  who  survived  her  husband.  Mr.  Sinkler  reached  that 
period  in  life  when  he  looked  toward  its  sunset.  The  sacrifices  and 
the  hardships  of  a  new  settlement  had  been  endured  by  him  manfully. 
Of  its  reponsibilities  and  emoluments  he  had  partaken,  and  prosper- 
ity had  attended  him.  So  this  man,  one  of  the  early  bom  sons  of 
New  Hampshire,  and  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Sinkler  family  in 
America,  "being  weak  of  boddy,"  but  with  mental  powers  unim- 
paired, made  his  last  will  and  testament  on  the  28th  of  December,

CAPT.  JOHN  SINKLER,  OF  STRATHAM,   N.  H. 


[24 


Marfi;aret  Sinkler^,  b.  about  1712;  was  mentioned  in  her  father's  will 

Dec.  28, 1730,  and  was  not  married  at  that  date. 
Eiizabeth  Sinkler*,  b.  about  1713 :  was  left  a  small  legacy  by  her  father 

in  his  will,  and  was  not  married  at  that  period. 


26.  John  Sinkler*  [8]  (James*,  John*).  Capt.  John  Sinkler  was 
born  in  £xeter,  N.  H.,  about  1690,  and  presumably  the  eldest  child 
of  his  parents.  In  his  father's  will  he  is  the  first  child  mentioned, 
and  as  he  received  by  its  provisions  only  a  slight  legacy,  it  indicates 
that  he  had  previously  received  his  inheritance.  On  the  "Squamscott 
Patent "  he  was  early  a  settler.  This  tract  was  incorporated  into  a 
town  called  Stratham  March  14,  1715-16.  He  and  his  wife  deeded 
land  there  the  following  year. 

Stratham,  by  its  act  of  incorporation,  was  to  see  ' '  that  a  meeting 
house  be  built  on  the  King's  great  road  leading  from  Greenland  to 
Exeter,"  and  was  "obliged  to  have  a  learned  Authordox  Minist'  to 
preach  in  said  meeting  house  within  one  year  from  y*  date  hereof." 
Mr.  Sinkler  was  chosen  one  of  a  committee  to  secure  the  minister, 
and  also  to  "  set  off"  the  pews. 

He  served  as  selectman  in  1720,  '21,  '22,  '23,  '24.  He  was  elected 
constable  in  1726,  but  as  this  position  did  not  satisfy  his  longings 
for  place  and  power,  or  for  some  other  reason,  he  declined.  Ol  June 
17,  1727,  he  bought  land  in  Bow,  near  what  is  now  Pembroke.  Was 
again  selectman  in  1728,  '29,  '31,  '32,  and  in  1729  was  on  the  com- 
mittee "•to  seat  the  meeting  house,"  and  on  July  13,  1730,  he  helped 
to  give  his  brother,  Richard  Sinkler,  his  place  "in  the  great  congrega- 
tion."    He  was  a  large  dealer  in  real  estate. 

The  people  of  Stratham  were  called  to  the  place  of  worship  by  a 
bell  in  the  belfry  of  the  meeting-house.  Its  sonorous  tones  had 
for  years  summoned  them  at  the  hours  for  prayer  and  praise.  It  be- 
came damaged  and  no  longer  sent  forth  peals  to  delight  the  ears  of 
the  worshippers  as  they  wended  their  way  to  the  sanctuary.  So  at  a 
town  meeting  Jan.  18,  1733,  Mr.  Sinkler  was  chosen  one  of  a  com- 
mittee to  take  down  the  broken  bell  and  to  send  it  to  "  Lundon  to  ue 
New  Cast  Again." 

From  1733  to  '36  he  was  in  the  retirement  of  private  life  and  in 
the  enjoyments  of  the  fireside  and  the  domestic  circle.  In  1736,  '37, 
'39,  '40,  and  '42  he  ser\'ed  as  assessor.  In  1739  'n  's  called  Lefu 
John  Sinkler. 

At  this  periwl  he  was  a  vigorous  protestai  t  against  tlie  religious 
legislation  of  Stratham,  which  broke  in  upon  the  ostabiisbed  order  o' 
religious  worship;  whi- h  weakened  and  divided  the  church,  and 
lessened  the  good  which  might  arise  from  the  labors  of  the  regular 
minister,  Rev.  Henry  Rust.  He  is  called  John  Sinkler,  GentU'.maii , 
April  13,  1743. 

We  know  nothii^;  of  "  is  military  career,  but  he  is  at  length  called 
Capt.  John  Sinkler.  liat  the  active  life  of  Mr.  Sinkler  drew  to  a 
close,  and  he  died  in  Stratham  Sept.  16,  1745.

His  home  was  on  the  "  King's  Road,"  and  it  was  sold  in  1741)  to 
Josepli  Jewett  and  Mr.  Piumonl.     The  place  was  occupied  by  Mr. 
Jewett,  and  iu  IHHlt  remains  in  the  possession  of  his  family.     The 
Sinkler  barn  is  still  standing,  but  the  other  buildings  have  disap-* 
peared'. 

In  regard  to  Mr.  Sinkler  tradition  has  died  out.  As  a  living  per- 
sonality he  has  jiunc  forever  from  the  minds  of  men.  But  of  his 
mental  traits,  of  the  underlying  principles  which  were  the  basis  oi 
his  character,  we  can  estimate  by  looking  at  his  actions,  the  causes 
he  espoused,  the  side  of  great  moral  questions  upon  which  he  arrayed 
himself,  and  the  public  positions  which  he  filled.  In  all  of  these  he 
was  ever  upon  the  right  side,  and  acted  the  part  of  a  trae  man. 
Such  was  this  early  settler  of  Stratham. 

He  married  Mrs.  Anne  (Chase)  Wiggin,  widow  of  Bradstreet 
Wiggin.  She  surs-ived  him  and  was  living  Feb.  24,  1753.  It  is 
probable  that  in  their  early  married  life  they  attended  church  at 
Hampton,  N.  H.,  as  the  only  record  of  the  births  of  their  children 
is  upon  the  records  of  that  town.

Fac-simile  of  his  autograph.  The  original  can  be  seen  on  the  pe- 
tition, in  the  State  department,  Concord,  N.  H. 

He  was  called  "Yeoman,"  and  his  home  was  in  what  is  now  South 
Newmarket,  N.  H.  He  and  his  wife  Elizabeth  sold  their  home  of 
forty-two  acres  in  South  Newmarket,  N.  H.,  on  Sept.  12,  1761. 
This  included  "Ye  house  and  barn  and  orchard  standing  and  being 
on  sd  land."  It  bounded  and  touched  "on  the  west  side  of 
Smart's  creek." 

This  is  the  last  mention  of  him  in  Exeter  or  Newmarket.  The 
tide  of  emigration  was  westward.  New  lands  were  being  thrown 
open  to  settlers,  and  new  settlements  were  formed.  Again,  many  of 
the  people  in  this  locality  became  pioneers  in  the  wilderness. 

Ou  April  11,  1750,  sixteen  months  before  Joseph  Sinkler  sold  his 
home  in  Newmarket,  the  proprietors  of  the  lands  purchased  of  John 
Tufton  M?«!on,  Esq.,  at  a  meeting  in  Portsmouth,  N.  11.,  authorized 
Thomas  Packer  "to  grant  1000  acres  to  such  persons  and  on  such 
terms"  as  he  should  determine  upon.  He  granted  this  to  various 
persons  on  the  condition  of  their  settling  upon  and  improving  said 
lands.  These  settlera  laid  out  the  land  into  lots,  which  were  num- 
l)ei'ed,  and  a  plan  was  returned  to  the  proprietors.  They  divided  the 
laud  among  themselves. 

Joseph  Sinkler  was  one  of  those  who  took  advantage  of  the  offer 
of  the  proprietors,  and  located  on  Buckstreet,  in  the  town  of  Pem- 
broke, soon  after  the  sale  of  his  home  in  Newmarket,  on  Sept.  12, 
1751.  He  received  a  deed  of  this  land,  59  acreb  in  Lot  No.  1,  "in 
the  division  of  land  called  Buekstreet  Lotts,"  Jan.  14,  1755,  and  ac- 
knowledged Oct.  29,  1765.  He  lived  there,  near  what  is  now  Sun- 
cook,  until  April  15,  1761,  when  he  sold  this  property  to  his  sou 
John  Sinkler. 

On  Sept.  3,  1767,  with  sixty-three  otliers  he  signed  a  petition  for 
the  appointment  of  John  Bryant  as  a  Justice  of  the  Peace.  This  is 
the  last  time  his  name  appears  upon  any  ascertained  record,  and  as 
he  had  reached  old  age,  it  is  probable  that  he  died  about  this  time. 
He  married  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Thomas  Lyford  of  Exeter,  N.  H. 
Her  father  by  his  will,  admitted  to  Probate  Court  Jinie  7,  1727,  left 
a  legacy  to  his  "beloved  daughter  Elizabeth  Sinkler."  The  date  of 
her  death  is  not  known.

36.  Samuel  Sinkler*  [10]  (James*,  John»).  He  was  born  in  Exe- 
ter, N.  IL,  about  1694.  H'  probably  sei-ved  as  a  scout  for  three 
weeks  in  1712,  as  a  member  of  Capt.  John  Oilman's  company.  He 
was  a  resident  of  Exeter,  N.  H.,  and  is  called  "laborer."  On  Aug. 
28,  1734,  for  £150  he  sold  to  Lt.  Israel  Oilman  of  Exeter  all  his 
right  "in  a  50  acre  Orant  of  land.  Oranted  to  my  Honored  father 
James  Sinkler,  dec'd,  by  ye  town  of  Exeter  on  ye  Slst  day  of  Jan. 
1680,  and  given  to  me  by  my  father's  will." 

On  Nov.  21,  1746,  he  signed  a  petition,  with  his  brother  Joseph 
and  his  nephew,  Thomas  Sinkler,  for  a  bridge  at  Newflelds,  now 
South  Newmarket.  His  name  seldom  appears  upon  any  record,  and 
he  died  probably  in  the  latter  part  of  1747, 

His  wife  was  Anna  ,  who,  on  Feb.  7,  1748-9,  relinquished 

her  right  of  administration  upon  her  husband's  estate.  There  is  no 
record  nor  any  eAadence  that  he  left  children. 

37.  Jonathan  Sinklei-*  [11]  (JamesS  John*).  He  was  born  in 
Exeter,  N.  H.,  about  1700.  By  his  father's  will,  made  July  3, 
1731,  he  only  received  twenty, shillings,  which  would  show  that  he 
had  previously  received  his  inheritance. 

He  was  a  resident  of  Wells,  Me.,  and  was  granted  by  that  town 
fifty  acres  of  upland  and  ten  acres  of  meadow.  He  conferred  full 
authority  on  his  father,  James  Sinkler  of  Exeter,  who  sold  this  land 
Nov.  6,  1729,  to  Josiah  Winnof  Wells. 

His  name  drops  from  view,  and  upon  no  document  has  it  been 
seen  after  that  date, 

38.  Richard  Sinkler*  [12]  (James',  John»),  He  was  born  in 
Exeter,  N,  H.,  about  1705,  and  on  May  20,  1727,  was  one  of  215 
original  proprietors  of  Oilmanton,  N.  H.  He  was  a  resident  of 
Exeter  as  late  as  Sept,  14,  1727,  and  was  evidently  in  Stratham, 
N,  H,,  on  June  27,  1728,  at  the  time  of  his  marriage,  having  cleared 
up  his  land  and  made  ready  to  establish  his  home. 

Forty  acres  of  the  town  commons  was  laid  out  to  him  in  1725. 
He  received  land  in  Stratham  from  his  parents.  On  Sept.  14,  1727, 
James  Sinkler  and  his  wife  Mary,  "  for  love  and  affection  to  their 
beloved  son  Richard  Sinkler  of  Exeter,"  deeded  him  land  in  Stratham. 
This  was  three  miles  from  Exeter,  near  the  Squamscott  riA'er,  in  the 
westerly  part  of  Stratham.  He  hewed  his  farm  from  the  wilderness 
and  made  the  desert  to  blossom  like  the  rose. 

Their  home  was  on  the  westerly  end  of  Quoboag  road,  on  what  is 
to  this  day  km.wn  as  the  "  Sinclair  place."  It  remained  in  posses- 
sion of  tha  family  for  several  generations.  "The  Sinkler  Path," 
whose  tort,uous  winding  can  still  be  traced,  dates  back  to  about  1725, 
and  takes  its  name  from  this  family.  It  was  long  used  before  the 
Quoboag  road  was  opened,  which  gave  the  Sinklers  connection  with 
the  main  thoroughfare,  and  was  no  longer  needed.  Its  crooked  track 
is  still  seen  in  the  wocxls.  It  led  across  the  present  farm  of  Col. 
Richard  M.  Soammon,  and  connected  the  early  homes  of  the  Sinklers 
and  S^'amnHMis,  who  were  related.

RICHARD  SINKLER,  OF  STRATHAM,  N.  H. 


[88 


Sinkler'B  Reach  is  a  straight  place  in  the  Squamscott  river,  and  in 
1 793  is  noted  on  the  map  of  Strathani. 

The  name  of  Mr.  Sinkler  often  appears  on  the  records  of  Stratliani, 
and  he  was  mnch  interested  in  the  religious  affairs  of  the  community. 
His  seat  in  the  meeting-house  was  assigned  to  him  July  13,  1730,  and 
was  "  in  the  honid  Long  front  Seat  below  on  y*  men's  side." 

He  was  a  firm  friend  of  the  settled  town  minister,  Rev.  Henry 
Rust,  who  had  been  "  settled  for  life "  and  was  supported  by  the 
town,  and  was  bitterly  opposed  to  any  movement  which  disturbed  the 
established  order  of  things,  and  with  others  vigorously  protested 
upon  several  occasions.  Church  and  state  were  then  united,  and 
legislation  on  the  subject  divided  the  people  and  caused  great  dis- 
turbance in  the  town. 

He  was  tything  man  in  1741,  sun'eyor  in  1748.  On  April  5,  1748, 
he  and  his  wife  Catreen  sold  to  David  Stevens  of  Stratham  for  £100 
"  all  right  to  the  estate  of  our  Honored  Father  Nathaniel  Stevens, 
deceased,  within  ye  township  of  Stratham  and  in  ye  township  of  Bow 
in  ye  Province  abovesaid,  and  the  four  acres  of  land  that  lies  upon 
Railtimber  hill." 

The  marriage  of  Mr.  Sinkler  took  place  June  27,  1728.  The 
partner  of  his  life  was  Catherine,  daughter  of  Nathaniel  and  Sarah 
(Folsom)  Stevens*. 

Mrs.  Sinkler  sunived  her  husband  many  years.  The  administra- 
tion of  her  estate  was  granted  to  her  son  Richard. 

Mr.  Sinkler  was  in  the  prime  of  life  when  sickness  laid  its  wasting 
band  upon  him.  He  saw  the  end  approaching  and  he  put  his  house 
in  order.  He  died  July  9,  1751.  At  his  funeral  the  church  bell  was 
tolled.  His  will  was  made  June  25,  1751 ;  admitted  to  the  Probate 
Court  Aug.  27  of  the  same  year.  His  executors  had  an  allowance 
from  the  estate  for  two  sheep  killed  by  wolves ;  total  value  of  estate, 
£2889-10s.

He  married  Abigail,  daughter  of  Jonathan  and  Anna  (Ladd)  Folsom. 
He  died  1754;  she  died  before  April  3,  1761.

52.  Benjamin  Sinkler*  [14]  (James*,  John*).  He  was  born  in 
Exeter,  N.  H.,  about  1712,  and  was  not  of  age  at  the  date  of  his 
father's  will,  July  23,  1731.  By  that  document  he  inherited  land  in 
Gilmanton,  N.  H.,  which  he  sold  May  18,  1736,  to  Jonathan  Norris 
of  Stratham,  N.  H.  He  lived  with  his  brother  Ebenezer  on  Wheel- 
wright's creek  until  he  was  21  years  of  age. 

His  home  was  always  in  his  native  town.  He  was  last  taxed  in 
1757.  Adversity  came  upon  him  and  he  received  public  aid.  His 
death  occm-red  previous  to  March  26,  1759.  Nathan  Taylor  of  Exe- 
ter dug  his  grave  and  tolled  the  bell  of  the  meeting-house  at  his  fun- 
eral.    His  wife  was  Elizabeth. ,  who  died  in  1766  or  1767. 

There  is  no  allusion  to  any  children  upon  any  document. 

53.  John  Sinkler*  [21]  (John*,  John'),  He  was  born  in  Exeter, 
N.  H.,  before  June  20,  1708,  as  he  must  of  been  of  age  June  20, 
1729,  when  he  received  a  deed  of  one-half  of  his  real  estate  in  Exe- 
ter, which  included  '■'■  Siukler's  Point."  By  various  sales  he  had  dis- 
posed of  the  most,  if  not  all,  of  this  tract  by  the  11th  of  December, 
1733.  He  retained  his  residence  in  Exeter,  and  in  public  documents 
was  called  yeoman  and  husbandman.  He  was  also  a  seafaring  man 
and  is  called  coaster.  His  death  occurred  previous  to  Sept.  28,  1747, 
and  Nicholas  Ferryman  was  appointed  administrator  of  his  estate. 
The  appraisal  was  taken  Dec.  28,  1747,  and  his  real  estate  consisted 
of  30  acres.  .  There  is  no  mention  of  wife  or  children. 

54.  Samuel  Sinkler*  [22]  (Joha*,  John').  -  He  was  born  previous 
to  1709,  and  by  his  father's  will,  made  Dec.  28,  1730,  he  was  to  in- 
herit, after  the  decease  of  his  mother,  one-half  of  the  homestead  on 
Wheelwright's  creek  in  Exeter,  N.  H.  This  was  sold  by  his  n^other 
as  executrix  of  his  father's  will,  and  himself  as  a  legatee,  to  Capt. 
John  Gilman  of  Exeter  Dec.  4,  1734. 

Mr.  Sinkler  was  one  of  215  original  proprietora  of  Gilmanton 
May  20,  1727.  On  Dec.  3,  1731,  then  "of  Newmarket  in  Exeter," 
sold  this  land  to  Matthew  Little,  which  was  signed  by  his  wife  Sarah 
(Mattoon)  Sinkler.  On  June  6,  1733,  they  relinquished  to  Richard 
Mattoon  of  Exeter,  for  £30,  all  right  to  the  estate  of  their  honored 
father,  Richard  Mattoon  of  Exeter,  deceased.  On  March  3,  1747- 
48,  he  deeded  ten  acres  to  Edward  Sinkler,  "  being  in  ye  Parish  of 
Newmarket  in  the  Town  of  Exeter,"  and  acknowledged  by  him  Feb. 
27,  1758.  This  is  the  last  reference  found  to  him  upon  tlie  records. 
The  portion  of  Newmarket  in  which  they  lived  is  now  South  New-

market.  He  married  Sarah,  daughter  of  Richard  and  Jane  (Hilton) 
Mattooii  of  Exeter.  Her  grandfather,  Richard  Mattoon,  and  her  uncle, 
Huburtus  Mattoon,  were  killed  by  the  Indians  while  at  work  In  their 
field  July  1,  1706.  Her  mother  was  daughter  of  Edward  Hilton,  Jr., 
a  prominent  and  influential  man.

58.  Thomas  Sinkler*  [32]  (Joseph*,  James',  John^).  He  was 
born  in  what  is  now  South  Newmarket,  N.  H.,  in  1721,  and  was  the 
first  of  his  family  in  New  Hampshire  to  receive  the  christian  name 
Thomas,  which  after  him  was  borne  so  frequently.  His  mother's 
father  was  Thomas  Lyford,  so  the  name  is  probably  accounted  for. 
In  Newmarket  he  made  his  home  for  many  years,  and  with  his  father 
and  Samuel  Siukler  he  signed  a  petition  on  the  21st  of  November, 
1746. 

He  located  in  (Buckstreet)  Pembroke,  N.  H.,  being  there  in  1758, 
as  his  name  appears  on  a  petition  with  those  of  his  father  aad  brother 
John  Sinkler.  Henceforth  his  interests  were  those  of  a  new  locality. 
At  this  period  the  people  in  all  the  suiTounding  country  dertved  a 
large  part  of  their  living  from  fishing  at  Amoskeag  Falls,  now  Man- 
chester, N.  H.  In  order  to  protect  the  fishing  interest  a  lengthy 
petition  was  sent  to  the  state  government  to  restrain  fishing  certain 
days  in  the  week.  This  was  signed  by  Mr.  Sinkler  and  was  dated 
July  13,  1764.  The  Indians  had  camped  at  these  falls  centuries 
before  the  advent  of  the  palefaces,  and  knew  their  value.  The  lam- 
prey eel,  so  abundant  in  these  waters,  has  been  eulogized  by  the  late 
poet,  William  Stark,  who  speaks  of  tlieir  value  to  the  people  of 
l^erryfield : 

'*  From  the  eels  they  formed  their  food  in  chief, 
And  eels  were  called  the  Derryfleld  beef ; 
It  was  often  said  that  their  only  care. 
And  their  only  wish,  and  their  only  prayer, 
For  the  present  world,  and  the  world  to  come, 
Was  a  string  of  eels,  and  a  jug  of  rum." 

Though  his  interests  were  connected  with  this  new  abode  he 
retained  a  business  connection  with  citizens  near  his  early  home.  On 
Sept.  21,  1764,  he  purchased  of  George  Jaflfrey  of  Portsmouth  a 
farm  in  "  EUonstown,"  to  which  he  moved.  This  was  sold  Dec.  25, 
same  year,  to  Abner  Clough  and  James  Kelsoe  of  Nottingham,  N.  H. 

*  Edward  and  Ebenezer  Sinkler  appear  to  be  the  sons  of  Samuel  Sinkler, 
and  the  probabilities  are  so  strong  that  they  have  been  so  arranged.

ons  of  Samuel  Sinkler,

Sanbornton,  N.  H.,  was  the  next  town  and  settleincnt  that  ho 
helped  found,  and  he  was  not  there  previous  to  1766,  but  was  there 
Jan.  8,  1768  (and  perhaps  earlier),  when  he  signed  a  petition  to  Ijc 
exempted  from  taxation.  Among  his  companions  there  were  Thomas 
Lyford  and  Philip  Hunt. 


*^!^r,*-y  y*"^ 


He  served  as  sui-veyor  of  highways  in  1772,  '82,  '87,  and  as  tyth- 
ing  man  from  1773-76,  and  signed  the  Association  test  in  1776. 

Like  all  of  his  warlike  and  patriotic  kindred  he  sen-ed  in  the  mili- 
tary arm  of  his  government,  being  a  soldier  of  the  Revolution, —  a 
member  of  Capt.  Chase  Taylor's  company.  Col.  Thomas  Stiekney's 
regiment.  Gen.  John  Stark's  brigade, —  and  his  company  marched 
from  Sanbornton  to  join  the  Northern  Continental  Anny,  but  the 
company  went  only  to  Charlestown,  N.  H.  He  enlisted  July  22, 
1777,  and  was  discharged  Sept.  27,  1777. 

The  honor  of  being  constable  of  the  town  was  thrust  upon  him 
March  30, 1784,  and  he  paid  bis  fine  and  declined  to  serve.  His  son 
James  Sinkler,  after  his  return  from  his  long  and  honorable  sennce 
in  the  Revolution,  lived  in  Sandwich,  N.  H.,  and  to  him  he  sold  his 
farm  of  90  acres  Jan.  28,  1785,  which  was  situated  on  Steele's  Hill. 
There  he  lived  from  Feb.  1,  1768,  to  Feb.,  1793,  or  25  years. 
The  name  of  his  wife  has  not  been  ascertained. 

Thomas  Sinkler  had  been  young,  and  now  was  he  old ;  the  weight 
of  72  years  was  upon  him.  He  had  been  a  pioneer  in  four  settle- 
ments,—  South  Newmarket,  Pembroke,  Allenstown,  and  Sanbornton, 
N.  H., —  and  there  was  but  one  removal  more  before  he  went  down 
to  his  rest.  The  tide  of  emigration  was  sweeping  westward.  His 
brother  John  Sinkler  had  already  settled  in  £ssex,  Vt. ;  his  son 
Benjamin  Sinclair  was  in  Greensborough,  Vt.  The  farm  in  Sanborn- 
ton was  sold,  and  he  and  his  son  James  Sinclair  and  family  removed 
to  Hardwick,  Vt.,  and  were  near  tlieir  relatives.  There  he  lived 
until,  as  the  Hardwick  town  record  says,  "  Died  Dec.  7,  1796,  Tho- 
mas Sinclair  when  under  the  care  of  James  Sinclair,  age  75."*  His 
work  was  done,  his  race  run ;  they  placed  him  in  a  coffin  made  from 
boards  (not  dug  out  of  a  log  as  has  been  stated).  It  was  painted 
black,  and  .they  laid  him  away  to  sleep  his  long  sleep.  Some  of  his 
children,  and  probably  all  of  them,  were  born  in  Newmarket,  N.  H., 
as  shown  from  records  and  information  furnished,  as  follows :

He 


Joseph  Sinkler,  Jr.*  [33]  (Joseph*,  James^  John*), 
was  born  before'  May  27,  1736,  in  what  is  now  South  Newmarket, 
N.  H.,  and  when  a  l>oy  went  to  Pembroke,  N.  H.,  then  called  Buck- 
street,  with  his  father,  where  he  was  a  resident  for  several  years. 
On  May  27,  1757,  he  l)ought  sixty  acras  of  land  in  Allenstown, 
N.  H.,  and  be  was  by  the  conti'act  to  build  a  house  lit  for  a  family 
to  live  in,  clear  ten  acres  fit  for  tillage  or  mowing,  or  l)oth,  and  either 
he,  or  some  one  in  his  place,  was  to  become  an  iiiliabitant  of  Aliens- 
town.  He  is  probably  the  Joseph  Sinkler  of  the  French  and  Indian 
war,  in  the  same  company  with  Richard  Sinkler,  aftenvards  "Col." 
Richard  of  Barnstead,  N.  H.,  who  enlisted  in  Capt.  Jeremiah  Mar- 
ston's  company  April  20,  1760,  and  was  in  the  semce  as  late  as 
July  6,  1760,  and  probably  later. 

Soon  after  he  w^as  a  resident  in  Holderness,  N.  H.,  and  was  made 
fence-viewer,  before  its  incorporation,  at  a  meeting  of  the  proprie- 
tors at  the  house  of  Mr.  John  Layn  in  New  Durham,  N.  H.,  June  10, 
1769.  He  lived  on  "  South  Hill,"  on  a  hundi-ed  acre  lot  "  numbered 
62  in  the  plan  of  said  townships."  This  he  and  his  wife  Maitha 
sold  to  Samuel  Livennore,  Esq.,  of  Portsmouth,  July  23,  1771. 

He  then  drops  out  of  the  history  of  Holderness  and  appears  in 
Sanbornton,  N.  H.,  whei-e  Thomas  Sinkler,  his  brother,  had  located 
three  or  four  years  before,  and  as  early  as  1768. 

When  the  flames  of  the  Revolution  broke  forth,  it  found  him  i-eady 
for  the  conflict.  On  Dec.  16,  1776,  then  of  Sanbornton,  he  enlisted 
for  the  war,  and  was  paid  Dec.  31,  1779,  for  "36  months  and  27 
days  service."  He  was  in  Maj.  Benjamin  Whitcomb's  Rangers  side 
by  side  with  his  nephew,  James  Sinkler,  who  died  in  Bari'e,  N.  Y. 
In  1780,  on  the  Depreciation  Rolls,  his  name  appears  in  Col.  Alex- 
ander Scanunell's  Regiment,  the  3d  N.  H.  On  March  1,  1784,  he 
was  still  in  Whitcomb's  Rangers. 

He  resided  in  SanlK>rnton  after  the  war,  and  there  he  died.  The 
administration  of  bis  estate  was  granted  to  James  Sinkler  July  4, 
1 792.  His  wife  was  Martha .  Accoi-ding  to  the  best  obtain-

6J),  John  Sinklei-*  [34]  (Joseph*,  James*,  John*).  He  was 
born  in  South  Newmarket,  N.  H.,  in  173H.  He  went  to  "Buck- 
street"  in  Pembroke,  N.  H.,  as  he  was  but  thirteen  years  of  age 
when  his  father  sold  his  home  in  South  Newmarket,  Sept  12,  1751. 

On  the  1st  day  of  Noveml)er,  1^59,  he  signed  a  petition  with  his 
father  and  his  brother  Thomas,  and  objected  to  paying  any  of  the 
old  claims  against  Pembroke,  contracted  before  Buckstreet  became 
incoiporated  with  it. 


/p^  S'4**^.^lg^ 


A  fac-simile  of  his  autograph  as  appended  to  a  petition  in  1758. 

He  purchased  his  father's  home  farm  April  15,  1761,  on  which  he 
lived  until  Nov.  9,  1768,  when  he  sold  "one  certain  messuage  or 
tract  of  land,"  "it  being  the  whole  of  that  lot  I  purchased  of  my 
honored  father  Joseph  Sinclair." 

He  then  disappeared  from  Pembroke,  and  went  forth  to  help  found 
new  settlements.  That  was  his  mission,  and  nobly  did  he  fulflU  the 
puipose  to  which  he  was  appointed.  On  the  indented  shores  of 
Lake  Winnepisaukee,  now  known  as  Wolf  borough,  N.  H.,  whose 
bright  waters  add  to  New  Hampshire's  wealth  and  make  her  famous, 
and  whose  beauties  rival  those  of  Loch  Lomond  or  Lake  Leman,  our 
settler  next  makes  his  home.  On  the  30th  of  August,  1769,  he  pur- 
chased 86  acres  of  land  there  of  David  Sewall  of  York,  Me.  He 
made  repeated  purchases  and  sales  of  real  estate.  In  this  settlement 
he  was  a  prominent,  active,  and  influential  citizen,  and  often  held 
positions  of  public  trust.  The  annual  town  meetings  were  frequently 
held  at  his  house,  namely  in  1771,  '73,  '74,  '75,  and  '76.  He  was 
Selectman  in  1771,  Clerk  in  1773,  Moderator  in  1778,  '80,  and  '82, 
Constable  in  1779,  Surveyor  in  1776,  '79,  and  '82,  and  frequently 
the  Collector  of  Taxes.  He  was  Auditor  in  1774,  and  Deer  Keeper 
in  1781,  and  '82.  But  this  did  not  comprise  all  his  positions  of  a 
public  nature.  He  was  an  inn-holder,  and  on  the  20th  of  February, 
1776,  all  the  training  soldiers  of  Wolf  borough  met  at  his  house,  and 
he  was  re-elected  Captain.  This  was  one  of  the  "Train  Bands." 
He  was  mustered  into  sei-vice  as  a  soldier  in  Capt.  Joseph  Chandler's 
company,  Col.  Daniel  Wyman's  regiment,  Aug.  10,  1776.  On  Jan. 
29,  1778,  he  sold  to  Peter  Hodgdon  of  Kensington,  N.  Ht,  the  land

nian"on  the  public  records.  This  closes  his  career  in  Wolf  borough ; 
henceforth  his  history  is  connected  with  other  settlements.  He  was 
swept  in  with  the  west-going  tide  of  emigration.  He  was  in  Fairlee, 
Vt.,  Dec.  1,  17«3,  and  was  in  Moretown,  Vt.,  Sept.  24,  1784,  when 
he  and  his  wife  Mary  sold  land  in  Sanbornton,  N.  H.,  to  Benjamin 
Colby  of  Sanbornton.  He  was  a  resident  of  Essex,  Vt.,  probably 
in  1788,  and  certainly  by  July  1,  1791.  There  he  resided  until  his 
death  July  19.  1803,  aged  65  years,  and  there  his  descendants  reside 

unto  this  day.     He  married  Mary  ,  who  died  in  Kssex,  Vt., 

April  13,  1799,  aged  59  years.  She  was  born  in  1740.  In  the

surrounded  by  his  numerous  kindred,  and  neighbors,  and  friends  of 
his  day  and  generation,  as  well  as  those  of  later  days  and  gener- 
ations, to  keep  him  company,  with  a  marble  slab  above  him,  with  an 
appropriate  inscription,  he  sleeps  well  till  the  day  of  the  great  awak-

carried,  with  this  inscription  upon  it,  "James  Sincler  his  Horn  mad 
at  fort  cdward  Nov.  17,  n.^H."  It  is  unique  in  form  and  appear- 
ance,—  beautifully  cnibclliMhed  with  artistic^  designs.  A  battle  scene, 
—  the  meeting  of  iu)Htile  bands  of  soldiers  with  arms  in  position,  and 
tlie  words  "  Present,  Fire."  There  are  sliown  incidents  of  the  hun- 
ter's life  in  the  province  forest, —  the  fleeing  deer,  and  the  swiftly 
pursuing  liounds,  and  the  wild  turkey  flying  from  the  sly,  cunning 
foe.  This  horn  came  into  the  ix>ssession  of  his  son  Noah  Sinkler  of 
Canterbury,  N.  H.,  and  has  been  presei-ved  in  the  family. 

The  Sinkler  farm  was  a  small  one,  of  about  forty  acres,  it  is  said. 
On  Aug.  31,  1754,  a  highway  was  laid  out  by  the  town  of  Kpping 
throiigh  his  land. 

His  house  was  the  scene  of  a  thrilling  adventure.  His  neighbors, 
•loscph  Smith  and  wife,  one  day  were  walking  and  carrying  their  twin 
children,  and  when  near  the  Sinkler  home  they  espied  a  bear,  when 
Mr.  Smith  dropped  his  child  and  ran  for  his  gun.  His  wife  seized 
the  child,  and  with  one  under  each  arm  hastened  rapidly  for  the  Sin- 
kler house,  with  Bruin  in  hot  pursuit^.  No  sooner  had  she  reached  it 
and  closed  the  lower  half  of  the  door,  than  the  bear  was  there  and 
springing  up  placed  his  paws  upon  it  and  looked  eagerly  in.  Mrs. 
Smith  seized  the  long-handled  iron  shovel  and  dealt  him  a  fearful 
blow  on  the  side  of  the  head,  w:hich  made  him  retreat  to  the  road, 
where  he  sat  for  a  time  blinking  his  eyes,  lapping  his  jaws,  and  rub- 
bing his  head.  After  taking  time  for  reflection,  he  evidently  became 
disgusted  at  such  inhospitable  treatment  and  retreated  to  the  adjoin- 
ing forests. 

The  site  of  the  old  Sinkler  home  can  still  be  identifled.  It  is 
near  the  Hedding  camp-meeting  ground,  and  depot  of  the  Portsmouth 
&  Concord  Railroad  in  Rpping,  on  or  near  the  place  known  on  the 
map  of  Rockingham  County  as  J.  «&  J.  A.  Thyng's  farm.  A  short 
distance  from  the  meeting  of  two  roads,  in  a  small  cultivated  field  of 
less  than  one-half  of  an  acre  in  extent,  some  two  rods  from  the  high- 
way, there  is  a  depression  in  the  soil.  This  is  the  place  of  the  Sin- 
kler cellar.  It  was  filled  up,  and  yearly,  above  the  ancient  home, 
the  crops  are  grown. 

The  name  of  Mrs.  Sinkler  and  the  dates  of  their  death  are  not 
known.

Ky  tliu  will  of  liio  father  he  was  to  Hiieceed  to  the  lioincHtead  in 
Strathain,  but  if  he  posHesBed  the  Haine,  it  was  only  for  a  short  {w- 
ri(Ml,  as  Richard  Sinkler,  his  brother,  soon  had  it  in  his  poMHOHsion. 
He  was  a  signer  of  a  petition  for  a  bridge  at  the  "Newfticlds"  in 
1755,  and  rendered  military  duty  in  the  French  war  of  the  time, 
being  a  soldier  in  the  company  of  Lieut.  Hart  in  the  Crown  Point 
expedition,  which  was  previous  to  March  IH,  1757. 

On  April  11),  1758,  then  of  Stratham,  he  ami  his  wife  Deborah, 
with  Kpbraim  (ireen  and  his  wife  Abigail,  who  was  probably  Abigail 
Sinkler  before  marriage,  deeded  real  estate  in  Kpping,  N.  H. 

They  were  residents  of  Hampton  Falls  as  early  as  Feb.  5,  1762, 
where  they  lived  for  several  years. 

He  was  a  signer  of  a  petition  there  Nov.  21,  1765,  of  which  this  is 
a  fac-simile  of  his  autograph  : 


He  had  fixed  convictions  upon  religious  matters,  and  was  a  firm 
adherent  of  the  Presbyterian  faith,  an  attendant  and  member  of  the 
Presbyterian  church.  The  curtain  soon  after  falls  upon  his  history 
for  about  twelve  years,  until  it  is  lifted  and  reveals  him  to  us  again 
amid  the  glowing  fires  of  the  Revolution.  After  petitioning  the  gov- 
ernment, permission  was  granted  him  March  19,  1777,  ''to  export 
three  hundred  bushels  of  corn  from  Poitsmouth  to  Machias."

[98 


beforj  June  15,  1764.  He  sold  Nov.  4,  1765,  his  "original  right 
or  proprietor's  share  of  land  granted  to  me  in  the  town  of  Sandwich." 
Of  his  brother,  Richard  Sinkler  of  Sandwich,  he  purchased  his  right 
in  land  at  "  Wall's  Cove"  in  Exeter. 

in  the  Revolutionary  war  he  rendered  acceptable  service.  When 
the  Connecticut  troops  refused  to  tarry  beyond  tbeir  term  of  enlist- 
ment, Dec.  6,  1775,  and  thus  in  the  face  of  a  strong  enemy  greatly 
imperiled  the  American  cause,  New  Hampshire  was  called  upon  for 
aid,  and  nobly  did  she  respond.  The  men  of  New  Hampshire  threw 
themselves  into  the  breach,  having  enlisted  for  six  weeks,  and  were 
called  the  "six  weeks'  men."  The  30th  company  of  these,  on 
Winter  Hill,  was  from  Exeter  or  vicinity,  and  "  James  Sinkler"  was 
2d  lie'itenant  of  the  company.  It  was  commanded  by  Capt.  Peter 
Coffin,  sent  to  re-enforce  Gen.  John  Sullivan,  and  was  mustered  into 
service  at  Medford,  Mass.  He  was  a  captain  in  Col.  .John  Waldron's 
regiment  on  March  6,  1776,  which  was  stationed  at  Temple's  farm. 
He  rendered  valiant  service  to  his  country ;  and  to  his  death  he  bore 
the  title  of  captain,  and  was  held  in  general  esteem.

109.  Richard  Sinklei-^  [50]  (Ebenezer*,  James','  John»).  He 
was  born  in  Exeter,  N.  H.,  about  1740.  He  was  left  a  minor  by 
the  death  of  his  father  in  1754,  and  Gen.  Nathaniel  Folsom  was  his 
guardian.  He  was  a  hatter  by  trade,  and  a  farmer.  He  was  a  res- 
ident of  Exeter  until  after  Oct.  15,  1765.  The  town  of  Sandwich, 
N.  H.,  had  been  granted  by  Gov.  Benuing  Wentworth  Oct.  25, 
1763,  in  seventy-two  shares,  and  Richard  and  James  Sinkler  each 
secured  a  share.  Very  soon  after  Oct.  15,  1766,  Richard  Sinkler, 
the  hatter,  removed  to  Sandwich  for  settlement,  and  first  lived  in  a 
log  cabin,  some  twenty  rods  distant  from  the  large  two-story  house 
which  he  afterwards  erected  and  which  is  still  standing.  His  wife 
was  an  excellent  woman,  very  quiet,  calm  under  all  circumstances, 
took  life  as  it  came,  and  was  not  much  troubled  by  the  vexations  of 
life.  Mr.  Sinkler  was  exactly  the  reverse:  nervous,  sharp,  prompt, 
and  energetic.  On  one  unlucky  night  the  roof  of  their  cabin  took 
fire ;  he  sprang  from  his  couch,  quickly  emerged  from  the  domicile, 
climbed  upon  the  roof  and  labored  mightily  to  subdue  the  fiames. 
Not  so  his  good  and  worthy  spouse ;  she  did  not  arise  to  assist  her 
husband,  but  occasionally  raised  her  head  from  the  pillow  and 
drowsily  inquired,  "Father,  are  you  like  to  put  it  out?"  He  suc- 
ceeded: 

It  was  a  new  settlement.  He  reclaimed  his  farm  from  its  natural 
state.  One  year  his  crops  had  been  largely  cut  off,  and  they  were 
shortened  for  the  necessaries  of  life.  He  went  to  Exeter,  and  re- 
turned afoot,  and  brought  a  bushel  of  meal  upon  his  back.  When 
the  Revolutionary  war  broke  forth  it  found  him  a  patriot,  and  like

Ilia  relatives  and  namesalceB,  Col.  Richard  Sinkler  and  hia  aou,  Lt. 
Richard  Sinkler  of  Baruatead,  he  too  became  a  aoldier,  and  ren- 
dered honorable  aervice  in  behalf  of  liberty.  He  signed  the  Aaaoci- 
ation  Teat  in  1776.  He  waa  a  private  in  Capt.  Chaae  Taylor's  com- 
pany, Col.  Thomaa  Stickney'a  regiment,  Gen.  John  Stark'a  brigade, 
which  marched  from  Sanbornton,  N.  H.,  and  joined  the  North- 
ern Continental  Army  in  1777.  Engaged  July  22,  and  discharged 
Sept.  29,  1777,  he  aerved  two  montha  and  eight  days. 

The  day  following  hia  return  he  enlisted  in  Capt.  Nathaniel  Am- 
brose's company.  Col.  Welch's  regiment,  which  marched  from  Moul- 
tonborough  (two  miles  from  his  home)  and  the  adjacent  towns,  and 
joined  the  Continental  Army  under  Gren.  Gates  at  Saratoga,  and 
after  the  surrender  of  Gen.  Burgoyue  marchod  with  the  guard  as 
far  as  Northampton,  Maaa.,  and  waa  there  diacharged. 

He  waa  collector  of  taxea  for  the  town  of  Sandwich  in  1781  and 
'90.  On  the  19th  of  October,  1784,  he  bought  fifty  acrea  of  land  in 
Moultonborough,  N.  H.  .His  home  (lately  occupied  by  Ebenezer 
Tilton)  waa  on  the  old  Toppan  road  which  leads  from  the  Little 
Pond  to  Moultonboraugh,  and  not  far  from  the  line  between  the  two 
towns.  Over  forty  years  he  owned  and  lived  upon  this  farm.  On 
Oct.  5,  1807,  he  sold  it  with  other  lands  to  his  son  Jonathan  Sin- 
kler, and  soon  after  removed  to  Haverhill,  N.  H.  He  and  his  wife 
were  now  old,  and  the  remainder  of  their  lives  were  spent  with  their 
son  in  Haverhill,  although  they  occasionally  returned  to  Sandwich  to 
see  their  old  friends,  and  to  N-iait  the  familiar  haunts  where  so  many 

of  the  active  years  of  their  lives  had  been  paosed.     He  married 

.     They  died  in  Haverhill,  N.  H.,  and  are  buried  there. 

Before  relinquishing  Mr.  Sinkler  to  history  a  pen  picture  should 
be  given  of  his  home  in  Sahdwich.  On  one  of  the  most  magnificent 
locations  in  New  Hampshire  was  his  abode.  Like  the  city  of  Jeru- 
salem as  described  by  the  Paalmiat,  it  was  beautiful  for  situation. 
It  was  on  a  high,  level  tract  of  land  which  projects  into  that  valley, 
remarkable  for  its  beauty,  in  which  much  of  Sandwich  is  situated. 
High  hilla  and  grand  mountains  surround  it,  whoae  contour  is  nearly 
perfect.  The  mountain  gorges  are  symmetrical,  the  hill  tops  are 
rounded,  and  the  aidea  are  covered  with  fielda  or  wooded  growtha. 

In  the  aouth,  in  plain  view  of  hia  home,  waa  Berry  Pond,  or  Little 
Winnipiaaukee,  whose  waters  glimmered  in  the  brightness  of  the 
summer  sun.  Then  there  were  the  Red  Hilla  in  a  aoutherly  and 
westerly  direction ;  in  a  northerly  direction  were  the  Sandwich  mioun- 
taius,  with  the  bald,  bold  peak  "White  Face"  plainly  in  sight.  In 
the  north-east  ''Cool  Chocorua,"  ragged  and  rugged  peak,  pierced 
the  skies,  while  in  the  aoutbeaat  the  mountains  of  Osaipee,  with 
''Black  Snout,"  bound  one'a  viaion.  Thua  living  almoat' within 
their  ahadows,  the  mountains  and  the  hilla  kept  "ward  and  watch" 
about  him.

118.  Edward  Siukler*  [55]  (Samuel*,  John*,  John*).  He  was 
born  as  early,  probably,  as  March  3,  1726,  as  on  March  3,  1747-8, 
he  received  a  deed  of  ten  acres  of  land  from  Samuel  Sinkler,  and 
nmst  have  been  of  age  at  that  time,  and  was  of  the  parish  of  New- 
market. He  was  still  there  in  1755,  when  he  signed  a  petition  for  a 
bridge  at  the  NeWfields. 

On  Nov.  14,  1770,  then  of  Holdemess,  N.  H.,  he  bought  land  of 
John  Shaw  of  that  town.  In  1775  he  was  a  resident  of  Gilmanton, 
and  was  one  of  the  twelve  men  who  voluntered  to  fight  against  the 
enemies  of  his  country. 

He  enlisted  May  8,  1775,  in  Capt.  Aaron  Kinsman's  company. 
Col.  John  Stark's  regiment,  and  served  until  Aug.  1,  1775,  three 
mouths  and  one  day.     He  was  in  the  battle  of  Bunker  Hill. 

He  drops  out  of  view,  but  he  may  have  settled  in  Maine.  Circumi 
stances  point  in  that  direction.  He  may  have  been  the  ancestor  of 
the  Sinklers  of  Blue  Hill,  Me.,  mentioned  in  the  latter  part  of  this 
book. 

119.  Col.  Richard  Sinkler*  [56]  (Samuel*,  John*,  John>).  He 
was  often  called  Col.  Richard  Sinclair.  The  statement  that  Samuel 
Sinkler  was  the  father  of  Col.  Richard  came  from  a  record  inscribed 
in  his  family  Bible  —  nearly  half  a  century  aince  —  by  Joshua  Sink- 
ler, son  of  Joshua  and  grandson  of  Col.  Richard  Sinkler.  This 
statement  is  confirmed  by  my  own  investigations. 

His  father,  Samuel  Sinkler,  was  a  husbandman  and  a  resident  *'  of 
Newmarket  in  Exeter,"  now  South  Newmarket,  previous  to  Dec.  3, 
1731,  as  he' deeded  land  at  that  date.  His  mother  was  a  daughter 
of  Richard  Mattoon.  The  exact  date  of  Col.  Richard  Sinkler's 
birth  is  not  known,  but  it  was  about  1730.  He  was  born  in  New- 
market, was  a  carpenter  and  wheelwright  by  trade,  and  was  a  resi- 
dent of  Nottingham,  N.  H.,  in  1752.  On  Nov.  15,  1752,  the  first 
mention  of  his  name  is  found  upon  the  records, —  when  he  sold  forty 
acres  of  land  in  Epping,  N.  H.  As  he  must  have  been  twenty-one 
yeara  of  age  at  the  time,  it  would  make  his  date  of  birth  previous  to 
Nov.  15,  1781.  He  was  a  resident  of  Newmarket  on  Jan.  15,  1757, 
as  on  that  date  he  purchased  one-fourth  part  of  lot  No.  4  in  Summer 
street  in  Nottingham.     At  this  period  be  dealt  considerably  in  real

estate  and  owned  mills,  and  cut  and  sawed  the  lumber  upon  the  same. 
That  was  the  main  business  of  his  life. 

The  French  and  Indian  war  was  then  in  prepress,  and  lasted  from 
the  declaration  of  hostilities  by  England  against  France,  May  17, 
1756,  until  the  conquest  of  Canada  and  the  treaty  of  peace  in  17(ia. 
New  Hampshire  was  called  upon  for  sacrifices,  and  her  sons  were 
continually  in  the  field  braving  the  dangers  of  the  battle  and  the 
sufferings  of  camp  and  bivouac.  In  1760  a  regiment  was  raised  for 
the  invasion  of  Canada,  commanded  by  Col.  John  (ioffe.  In  this 
regiment  Richard  Sinkler  enlisted  March  28,  1760,  in  Capt.  Jeremiaii 
Marstou's  company.  This  force  cut  its  way  through  the  wilderness 
for  a  great  distance  and  endured  many  privations.  After  the  expira- 
tion of  his  service  in  the  ai-my  he  purchased,  on  April  27,  1764,  land 
in  Canterbury.  In  November  of  the  same  year  he  became  a  pioneer 
settler  in  Gilmanton,  and  lived  for  two  years  witii  his  family  on  lot 
No.  1  in  the  1st  range  of  the  lower  one  hundred  acre  lots.  This  was 
in  the  southeast  part  of  the  town,  near  the  Barnstable  line.  (See 
map  of  Barnstead,  N.  H. ) 

He  was  a  signer  of  the  call  for  the  first  town  meeting  in  Gilmanton, 
which  was  held  July  31,  1766.  In  the  latter  part  of  that  year  his 
life  in  Gilmanton  closed,  and  he  became  a  resident  of  Barnstead.  On 
the  second  day  of  June,  1767,  he  purchased  of  Edward  Emerson  of 
Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  one  hundred  acres,  it  being  the  "  Lot  said  Rich- 
ard Sinkler  now  lives  on,  and  is  No.  64,  in  2d  Division  in  Barn- 
stead." On  the  same  date  he  sold  one-fourth  part  of  a  sawmill 
standing  on  Bear  Pond  stream. 

Thus  was  this  early  resident  engaged  in  his  mill,  in  buying  and 
selling  real  estate,  and  the  other  duties  of  life,  while  the  political 
affairs  between  the  colonies  and  Great  Britain  were  approaching  a 
crisis,  and  the  great  questions  at  issue  were  finally  to  be  solved  by 
the  dread  abitrament  of  the  sword.  The  French  and  Indian  war  had 
developed  the  military  spirit  of  the  people  to  a  high  degree,  and  had 
prepared  them  for  the  greater  and  grander  struggle  in  which  they 
were  to  victoriously  engage.  The  Revolution  was  at  hand,  and  Mr. 
Sinkler  was  to  engage  in  it  and  bear  a  meritorious  part.  The  great 
struggle  found  in  him  an  early  participant  in  its  stirring  scenes.  In 
various  ways  he  was  earnest  and  active  in  the  cause  till  the  independ- 
ence of  the  colonies  was  achieved  and  the  founding  of  the  great 
Republic  was  assured.  He  held  a  captain's  commission  in  the  10th 
regiment,  commanded  by  Col.  Joseph  Badger.  He  was  a  captain  in 
active  service  in  Col.  John  Waldron's  regiment,  stationed  at  Temple's 
farm,  in  Gen.  John  Sullivan's  brigade  in  the  Continental  Army, 
March  6,  1776.  In  1780  he  commanded  a  company  in  Col.  Thomas 
Bartlett's  regiment,  which  was  raised  in  June  of  that  year  for  the 
defence  of  the  very  valuable  fortress  of  West  Point.  On  the  27th 
of  October  the  regiment  was  dischai^ed  and  he  returned  to  his  home 
in  Barnstead.  It  was  during  this  term  of  service  that  Arnold 
attempted  to  betray  West  Point  into  the  hands  of  the  enemy  and

failed.  Capt.  Sinkler  was  made  2d  Major  of  the  10th  N.  H.  regi- 
ment Nov.  3,  17H0. 

This  expedition  closed  his  military  career,  but  he  was  earnest  in 
the  performance  of  civil  duties  and  trust.  He  served  as  moderator 
in  his  town  at  special  meetings  and  at  the  annual  meetings  of  1775, 
76,  '79,  and  '«2;  as  selecmau  1777,  '78,  and  '80;  and  as  chairman 
of  the  board  in  1775,  '82,  '83,  nnd  '84;  was  a  surveyor  of  highways 
and  auditor  in  1792. 

With  others  he  had  rallied  in  defence  of  American  liberty  at  the 
very  commencement  of  the  Revolutionary  war.  On  the  26th  of  April, 
1776,  the  town  voted  to  "Capt.  Richard  Sinkler,  £1-11-6,  Lawful 
money  for  his  and  the  mens  expence  for  going  Down  below  For  the 
Defence  of  our  Country."  He  served  on  the  committee  to  hire  money 
and  soldiers  for  Barnstead,  and  on  the  committee  of  regulation  in 
1778.  * 

A  copy  of  his  autc^aph  as  appended  to  a  document  June  18,  1777. 

At  length  the  war  was  over,  the  colonies  were  triumphant,  the 
rbpublic  was  established,  peace  reigned,  and  the  affairs  which  pertain 
to  peace  engrossed  the  attention  of  men.  All  were  engaged  in 
developing  those  things  which  add  to  the  mental  or  physical  comfort 
of  the  people,  increasing  the  resources  of  the  town  and  state,  and 
thereby  enhancing  the  happiness  of  the  body  politic.  It  was  so  in 
the  town  in  which  lived  the  subject  of  this  sketch,  and  he  was  still 
prominent,  still  a  servant  of  the  public. 

In  one  of  those  great  freshets  which  almost  yearly  swell  the  rivers 
to  raging  floods,  causing  them  to  overflow  their  banks  and  bear  oppos- 
ing obstacles  away,  the  bridge  had  been  swept  off  which  spanned  the 
Suncook  river,  and  on  the  14th  of  December,  1784,  the  town  voted 
to  rebuild  the  same,  and  Richard  Sinkler,  Esq.,  W(i8  made  "overseer 
of  the  uol  bridge."  On  the  25th  of  October,  1785,  he  was  made 
overseer  of  the  work,  and  he  received  5  shillings  per  day  for  his  ser- 
vices as  masterworkman,  while  the  others  received  only  2  shillings 
and  6  pence. 

A  meeting-house  was  to  be  erected,  and  Capt.  Richard  Sinkler, 
now  called  Colonel  for  the  first  time  in  the  records,  was  on  the  25th 
of  March,  1788,  appointed  one  of  a  committee  to  locate  the  same. 

On  March  11,  1788,  he  deeded  a  one  hundred  acre  lot  with  sawmill, 
it  being  No.  98  in  2d  division,  to  his  son  John  Sinkler,  "  in  consid- 
eration of  love  and  good  will  that  I  bear"  to  him.  On  March  23, 
1790,  he  sold  65  acres  to  his  son  Richard,  Jr.,  a  part  of  lot  No.  64  in 
the  2d  division  in  Barnstead.  He  sold  the  remainder,  "about  100 
acres,"  "  with  all  the  buildings  standing  on  said  premises,  it  being 
the  same  land  and  buildings  where  I  the  said  Richard  Sinkler  now 
live,"  to  Joseph  Cilley  April  15,  1791.     Thus  the  homestead  of  this

early  settler,  which  he  had  bought  June  2,  1767,  and  on  which  he  had 
lived  for  almost  a  quarter  of  a  century,  passed  out  of  his  possession. 
(See  map  of  Barnstead,  N.  H.) 

The  home  of  Col.  Richard  Sinkler,  as  previously  stated,  was  on 
Lot  No.  1,  in  the  southeasterly  corner  of  Gilmanton,  occupied  in 
1888  by  Harrison  Carr.  He  left  there  in  the  latter  part  of  17G(;, 
went  across  lots,  through  the  then  wilderness,  about  a  mile  dis- 
tant, and  located  on  the  farm  lately  owned  by  Rev.  Nathaniel 
Wilson.  It  was  in  its  natural  state  and  the  location  was  agreeable 
and  pleasant.  As  time  wore  away  the  forests  gave  way  to  smiling 
fields,  and  instead  of  the  music  of  the  swaying  branches  of  storm- 
swept  forest  trees,  was  only  heard  the  breezes  as  they  bore  across 
the  fields  of  grass,  or  with  rapid  undulations  bowed  the  heads  of 
acres  of  heavily  beai-ded  grain. 

The  barn  which  was  his  was  destroyed  by  fire ;  his  house  is  gone, 
and  an  elm  tree  more  than  a  foot  in  diameter  grows  in  the  cellar, 
finding  abundant  nourishment  for  itself,  while  in  summer's  sun  and 
in  winter's  storm  its  stately  branches  overspread  the  site  of  this 
early  home.  This  place  is  situated  on  the  ''old  Province  Road," 
which  was  laid  out  and  built  by  kingly  authority, 

'*  In  good  old  Colony  times 
When  we  lived  under  a  king." 

An  interesting  part  of  the  history  of  Barnstead  is  centered  in  this 
locality,  and  on  the  line  of  this  highway.  In  a  southerly  direction, 
and  some  three-fourths  of  a  mile  from  the  home  of  Col.  Sinkler, 
stood  the  old  schoolhouse,  where  attended  school  some  of  the 
brightest  lads  ever  raised  in  Barnstead,  and  among  them  was  his 
descendant  in  the  third  generation,  Hon.  John  G.  Sinclair,  who  then 
lived  with  his  mother's  father,  Joseph  Norris. 

Still  following  the  ancient  road  in  a  southerly  direction,  is  the 
farm  first  settled  upon  by  Moses  Dennett,  the  grandfather  of  its 
present  occupant,  Oliver  Augustus  Dennett.  Then  there  is  the  for- 
mer home  of  Dr.  Joseph  Adams  (a  relative  of  President  John 
Adams),  now  occupied  by  Mrs.  Clarissa  Roberts.  In  tlie  little 
iiistic  cemetery  close  at  hand,  surrounded  and  fenced  in  by  a  rough 
wall  of  unhewn  stone,  the  eccentric  physician  has  long  been  sleep- 
ing. Some  twelve  rods  south  of  the  Adams  property,  on  the  op- 
posite side  of  the  highway  and  in  the  well  cultivated  field  owned 
by  Hiram  Rand,  is  a  depression  in  the  soil  which  -marks  an  old  cel- 
lar, now  filled  up,  and  over  which,  yearly,  crops  are  grown.  A  few 
pear  trees  grow  near  it.  This  is  all  there  is  left  to  mark  the  former 
habitation  and  home  of  Lt.  Richard  Sinkler,  son  of  the  pioneer. 

Then  the  elegant  farm  of  Hiram  Rand  is  seen.  It  was  once  the 
property  and  home  of  Charles  Hodgdon,  Jr.,  a  brother  to  the  wife  of 
Lt.  Richard  Sinkler.  Still  going  south  about  an  eighth  of  a  mile 
there  is  a  diverging  highway.  In  the  comer  of  the  field,  made  by 
the  junction  of  these  roads,  are  the  marks  of  another  cellar.  This 
was  the  home  of  Charles  Hodgdon,  Sr..  the  father  of  the  wife  o

Lt.  Richard  Sinkler.  Ch'er  these  broad  acres  for  a  great  distance, 
in  her  youth  she  could  look  and  wander,  for  her  father  was  a  large 
land  owner  and  held  the  title  deeds. 

The  Journey  being  continued,  another  homestead  is  seen  connected 
with  the  history  of  another  generation  of  the  Sinclairs  of  Barnstead, 
and  the  home  of  one  of  its  early  settlers.  It  was  originally  owned 
and  settled  upon  by  Joseph  Norris,  Sr.,  and  in  18«8  occupied  by 
Fred  P.  Fletcher.  This  was  the  birthplace  and  early  home  of  Mar- 
tha Nonis,  wife  of  Charles  G.  Sinclair  and  mother  of  Hon.  John 
G.  Sinclair. 

After  leaving  the  province  road  soon  is  met  the  highway  leading 
from  Pittsfield  to  Barnstead  Centre.  In  the  center  of  the  Parade, 
nearly  opposite  the  church,  is  a  dwelling  house  occupied  by  Mrs.  El- 
len Colbath.  This  was  the  home  of  Charles  G.  Sinclair  and  his  wife 
Martha  Noi-ris,  and  the  birthplace  of  Hon.  John  G.  Sinclair,  and 
where  his  earlier  years  were  passed. 

Col.  Richard  Sinkler  rests  in  an  unmarked  grave  on  his  home- 
stead. He  died  July  27,  1813,  in  Barnstead.*  He  married  in  1752-3 
Polly,  daughter  of  Capt.  Joseph  and  Alice  (Rawlins)  Cilley  of 
Hampton,  N.  H.  (See  appendix  for  Cilley  family.)  She  possessed 
great  courage  and  strength  of  character,  and  endured  the  hardships 
incident  to  the  lives  of  pioneers  with  a  marked  degree  of  fortitude, 
ever  looking  foi-ward  to  brighter  and  more  prosperous  days.  During 
the  repeated  absences  of  her  husband  iu  the  military  service  and  in 
business,  the  cares  of  the  family  fell  heavily  upon  her,  but  they  were 
borne  with  womanly  heroism.  She  died  in  Barnstead;  date  un- 
known. Formerly  in  a  little  orchai-d  near  the  dwelling  there  were 
two  graves  in  which  reposed  the  dust  of  the  heroic  Polly  Sinkler  and 
her  husband,  the  veteran  soldier  of  two  wars,  Richanl  Sinkler.

129.  EbeneaerSinklei-*  [57]  (Samuel*,  .Iohn»,  .Iohn»).  He  waa 
probably  a  aon  of  Samuel  Slnkler*.  By  trade  he  was  a  Joiner,  and 
lived  in  difFerent  placeH.  He  waH  a  Holdier  in  the  French  and  Indian 
war  before  1764. 

He  married  Mary,  daughter  of  Capt.  Jonathan  Blunt  of  Cheater, 
N.  H.,  and  was  a  resident  of  that  town  before  July  6,  1771,  when 
he  and  his  wife  sold  to  John  Wilson  of  Chester  the  land  which  was 
set  off  to  Mrs.  Slnkler  from  her  father's  estate.  On  Dec.  81,  1772, 
he  was  a  resident  of  Weare,  N.  H.  (then  or  earlier  called  Halls  Town), 
where  they  had  inherited  land  from  the  estate  of  her  father.  They 
.  deeded  to  Semuel  Blunt  of  Chester  certain  rights  in  land  and  build- 
ing "out  of  the  estate  of  our  honored  father  Capt.  Jonathan  Blunt 
of  Chester,  deceased." 

He  is  next  heard  of  oa  a  patriotic  soldier  of  the  Revolution,  hav- 
ing enlisted  early  in  the  struggle  and  serving  almost  continuously 
until  at  the  battle  of  Saratoga  he  gave  up  his  life.  He  was  a  private 
In  Capt.  Samuel  Richard's  company,  Col.  John  Stark's  regiment,  from 
April  28,  to  Aug.  1,  1775.  At  Bunker  Hill  his  station  was  with  the 
other  men  from  Weare,  N.  H.,  "  behind  the  rail  fence  "  that  extended 
from  the  redoubt  part  of  the  way  east  to  the  Mystic  river.  On  March 
22,  1777,  he  enlisted  In  the  Continental  army  for  three  yeaito  and 
received  a  bounty  of  £22  5s  6d,  for  which  he  gave  a  receipt.  He  was 
with  his  Slnkler  relatives  from  Barnstead,  in  Capt.  Amos  Merrill's 
company.  Col.  Joseph  Cilley's  regiment,  and  General  Poor's  brigade. 
Later  on  the  battle  of  Bennington  had  been  fought,  and  the  American 
forces  were  closing  In  upon  Greneral  Burgoyne.  At  the  battle  of 
Saratoga,  N.  Y.,  Oct.  7,  1777,  a  detachment  of  the  British  marched 
out  of  their  position  upon  the  left  of  tlie  American  furces.  The 
English  force  consisted  of  the  grenadiers  and  light  infantrr,  and  six 
field  pieces.  They  placed  themselves  upon  an  elevated  point  In  a 
cleared  field  a  fourth  of  a  mile  distant  from  the  American  forces. 
The  three  N.  H.  regiments  were  ordered  to  attack  them,  which  they 
did  in  brilliant  style.  The  fight  lasted  for  half  an  hour,  when  the 
enemy  were  driven  from  their  position  with  the  loss  of  their  cannon  and 
some  prisoners.  Our  men  pressed  forward,  attained  the  Grerman 
troops,  drove  them  back,  capturing  military  stores  and  provisions.  It 
was  during  these  famous  exploits  that  Ebenezer  Sinkler,  the  brave  sol- 
dier, was  killed.  He  made  the  supreme  sacrifice,  that  of  life  itself,  for 
the  American  cause.  His  family  were  left  in  destitute  circumstances, 
and  his  widow  applied  to  the  state  for  assistance,  which  was  not 
granted,  though  she  received  help  from  the  town. 

His  property  consisted  of  150  acres  of  wild  land  in  Wentworth, 
N.  H.  He  bad  three  children,  the  oldest  under  14  years  of  age ; 
names  not  known.

129a.  Rbene%«r  Sinclair*.  Probably  a  son  of  Rbeneier  of  Wearc, 
N.  H.,  who  WHH  killed  ut  the  battle  of  Saratoga  in  the  Revolutionary 
war,  and  who  was  owner  of  land  in  Wentworth,  N.  H.,  at  time  of 
his  death. 

Kbenezer  2d  of  Charlestown,  N.  H.,  on  April  6,  17»6,  Iwught  of 
Joshua  Clove  of  Wcare,  N.  H.,  all  the  right  he  had  in  John  Page, 
Jr.'s  land  in  Wentworth,  N.  H.  Mary  Sinkler  was  witness  to  the 
deed.  On  Sept.  1,  1796,  then  living  in  Wentworth,  he  sold  the  same 
to  Joseph  Sewell. 

An  Kbenezer  Sinclair,  apparently  the  same,  was  a  resident  of  Barre, 
Vt.,  previous  to  1804,  and  was  residing  there  on  I3ec.  24,  1808, 
when  he  disappears  from  the  records.  He  was  frequently  at  law  with 
his  neighbors,  and  his  name  often  appears  in  the  court  racords  at 
Chelsea,  Vt.     It  is  not  known  that  he  bad  a  family. 

John  Sinclair*,  or  St.  Clair,  as  his  family  now  call  the  name, 
appears  to  have  been  another  son  of  the  Revolutionary  soldier.  (See 
his  record  in  the  latter  end  of  this  book.) 

180.  Benjamin  Sinclair*  [59]  (Thomas*,  Joseph*,  James*,  John"). 
He  was  bom  in  Newmarket,  N.  H.,  about  1750.  He  was  a  brother 
to  Thomas  Sinclair  of  Meredith,  N.  H.,  who  was  bom  in  that  place. 

He  was  an  early  settler  of  Meredith,  being  there  Nov.  2,  177i2, 
and  purchased  of  his  brother  Thomas  Sinclair  on  Nov.  28,  1772,  a 
portion  of  Lot  No.  19,  2d  division. 

He  bought  of  his  brother  Thomas,  Dr.  Henry  Dearbom,  and 
others,  Oct.  19,  1774,  one  hundred  acres  in  Meredith,  the  original 
right  of  Joseph  Goodwin,  which  he  sold  to  Ebenezer  Pitman  of  that 
town  Feb.  20,  1775. 

He  was  a  Revolutionary  soldier  and  was  a  member  of  Capt.  John 
Moody's  company.  Col.  Naham  Baldwin's  regiment,  which  was  raised 
in  New  Hampshire  in  September,  1776,  to  re-inforce  the  Continental 
army  at  New  York.  The  regiment  participated  in  the  battle  of 
White  Plains  Oct.  28,  1776,  and  was  discharged  early  in  December 
of  that  year.  Mr.  Sinclair  was  allowed  for  320  miles  travel,  and  the 
amount  paid  him  was  £8  ISs  4d. 

He  lived  in  Meredith  in  1780,  and  on  Aug.  18  sold  a  portion  of 
his  homestead  to  Joseph  Robinson  of  that  town. 

Abont  the  year  1790  he  removed  to  Greensborough,  Vt.,  and  set- 
tled upon  the  farm  owned  in  1890  by  James  B.  Calderwood.  It 
comprised  then  some  fifty  acres.  He  cleared  the  land  from  its  nat- 
ural state  and  there  he  and  his  family,  the  most  of  the  time,  lived  till 
his  death,  which  occurred  about  1810,  at  the  age  of  some  sixty  years. 
No  dates  securable.  He  and  his  wife  and  family  were  much  re- 
spected people,  and  were  regular  attendants  of  the  Methodist  meet- 
ings, which  in  those  days  were  bolden  in  bams. 

In  his  old  age  he  moved  into  Hardwick,  and  died  there.  He  mar- 
ried Hannah  Sanbom,  who  probably  died  in  Haidwick,  Vt.  He  was 
buried  in  Hardwick,  Vt.

CO.,  Mich.,  March  IM,  1848. 

141.  TliomttB  Sinclair*  [60]  (Thomas*,  .loaeph*,  James*,  .John). 
lie  was  iKirn  in  Newmarket,  N.  H.,  April  14,  1751,  and  settled  in 
Meredith,  N.  H.,  when  a  young  man,  l)eing  there  previous  to  Nov. 
18,  1772,  when  he  deeded  land  to  his  brother  Benjamin  Sinclair,  also 
of  Meredith.     The  land  of  Constantino  Sinclair  was  adjoining  theirs. 

The  home  of  Mr.  Sinclair  was  in  the  Pease  school  district,  near 
the  ''Oak  Hill  Church,"  and  the  farm  was  owned  in  1888  by  a  son 
of  I)ea.  Thomas  Veasey.  He  was  a  tall,  slender  man,  with  not  an 
overstock  of  vitality,  and  (Msease  for  several  years  was  upon  him. 
Upon  that  farm  he  lived,  reared  bis  large  family,  and  died  of  con- 
sumption. 

His  educational  advantages  had  been  few,  yet  he  fully  appreciated 
tlie  value  of  learning.  He  attended  the  Free  Baptist  church,  and 
though  not  a  member,  was  deeply  interested  in  religious  things,  and 
the  reading  of  the  Scripture  in  his  family  was  his  daily  practice. 

The  homes  of  the  people  irere  lighted  by  tallow  candles.  Once 
when  reading  the  Bible  aloud, — ''The  Lord  said  unto  Moses," — he 
exclaimed,  "  Snuff  that  candle,"  which  made  so  ludicrous  a  composi- 
tion in  connection  with  the  wordb  of  "Holy  Writ"  that  laughter 
was  with  difficulty  suppressed  among  the  youthful  members  of  the 
family.  He  was  emphatically  a  home  man,  quiet  in  manner, 
gentle  by  nature,  and  his  attention  was  more  engrossed  with  his 
private  affairs  than  with  those  of  a  public  nature.  He  married  at 
Meredith  Aug.  9,  1774,  Mary  Meed,  b.  at  Stratham,  N.  H.,  Oct.  26, 
1755;  d.  at  Meredith  Oct.  21,  1790,  aged  34  yrs.  11  mos.  26  days.

150.  James  St.  Claii-*  [63]  (Thomas*,  Joseph*,  James*,  John*).  He 
was  boru  iu  Newmarket,  N.  H.,  in  1757.  As  His  fatlier  was  in 
"Bnckstreet,"  in  Pembroke,  the  following  year,  it  must  have  been 
in  that  town  that  the  earlier  years  of  his  youth  were  passed.  His 
brothers,  Benjamin  and  Thomas  Sinclair,  bad  already  located  in 
Meredith,  N.  H.,  and  there  he  was  a  i-esident  iu  1776.  He  early 
went  into  the  military  service  of  his  country  by  enlisting  Dec.  5, 
1776,  in  Capt.  Benjamin  Whitcomb's  Independent  Company  of 
Rangers,  and  sensed  until  Dec.  31,  1779.  He  went  as  a  soldier 
for  Sanbornton,  thougli  a  resident  of  Meredith,  and  received  a 
bounty.  During  the  lull  of  arms  he  attended  to  his  individual  in- 
terests. On  Jan.  7,  1770,  being  then  "a  Continental  soldier,"  he 
purchased  sixty-five  acres  of  land  in  Sandwich,  N.  H.,  a  part  of 
the  original  right  of  Benjamin  Non'is  of  Stratham,  N.  H.,  the 
brother-in-law  of  his  great  uncle,  Richard  Sinkler*,  of  that  town. 

When  his  three  years  of  honorable  service  were  about  expiring, 
his  patriotic  ardor  was  not  chilled,  but  with  his  courage  undaunted, 
and  his  love  of  country  sti'engthened  by  the  sacrifices  he  had  en- 
dured, he  re-enlisted  for  the  war.  Was  in  Major  Whitcomb's  com- 
pany of  rangers;  for  a  time  in  Capt.  William  Rowell's  company. 
He  was  made  a  corporal  Nov.  1,  1780.  Cornwallis  surrendered  to 
Washington  at  Yorktown,  Va.,  Oct.  19,  1781.  On  the  30th  of  De- 
cember of  that  year  was  a  National  Thanksgiving.  Peace  was  at 
hand. 

St.  Clair  was  made  sergeant  and  continued  with  the  army  until 
"the  cruel  war  was  o'er."  On  the  19th  of  April,  1783,  there  was  a 
formal  proclamation  of  the  cessation  of  hostilities.  On  June  6, 
1783,  his  long  and  heroic  service  as  a  soldier  of  the  Revolution 
closed,  and  he  was  honorably  discharged  at  West  Point,  N.  Y.,  the 
discharge  being  signed  by  General  Washington,  and  he  received  a 
"Badge  of  Merit."  It  was  nobly  won.  In  a  family  noted  for  its 
numerous  soldiers,  and  they  attesting  their  devotion  to  country  by 
valiant  and  repeated  services,  Mr.  St.  Clair  had,  by  continuity  and 
length  of  time,  surpassed  them  all,  and  subsequently  was  pensioned 
by  the  government.

Laying  aside  ttie  aims  and  liabits  of  ttie  soldier  he  immediately 
located  in  Sandwich,  N.  H.,  and  earnestly  devoted  himself  to  the 
pursuits  of  peace.  His  stay  in  that  town  was  short.  His  father, 
Thomas  Sinkler,  had  become  old ;  the  infirmities  of  age  were  upon 
him  and  he  wished  for  the  help  and  companionship  of  his  son.  So 
James  St.  Clair,  the  soldier,  on  the  28th  of  January,  1785,  bought 
the  homestead  of  his  father  near  the  foot  of  Steele's  hill  in  Sanborn- 
ton,  N.  H.,  and  moved  upon  it.  There  they  lived  until  March  17, 
1792,  he  sold  his  ninety  acres,  and  with  his  aged  father,  in  Feb- 
ruary, 1793,  settled  in  Hardwick,  Vt.,  near  his  brother  Benjamin, 
who  was  in  Greensborough,  Vt.,  and  his  uncle,  John  Sinclair,  who 
was  in  Essex,  Vt.  He  made  his  influence  felt  in  his  new  home,  for 
he  was  active  and  enterprising.  In  1796  he  was  one  of  a  committee 
to  arrange  for  the  settlement  of  Rev.  Mr.  Tuttle  in  that  place.  On 
Dec.  7  his  father  died  in  a  ripe  old  age.  He  dealt  in  real  estate  and, 
in  1801,  removed  to  Wolcott,  Vt.,  where  he  was  selectman  in  1802-3 
and  '4,  and  as  moderator  of  the  annual  meeting  it)  1804.  About 
1808  he,  with  the  Northrops  and  other  friends,  removed  to  Russell- 
town,  Canada,  where  he  lived  till  the  breaking  out  of  the  1812-'15 
war  with  Great  Britain.  It  was  a  great  calamity  to  him.  He  was 
loyal  to  his  country  and  would  not  fight  against  her.  So  he  and  his 
family  fled  by  night  from  an  approaching  rigorous  conscription,  the 
men  afoot,  the  women  and  children  on  horseback,  and  crossed  the 
line  into  the  United  States.  Save  what  tliey  cai-ried  with  them 
everything  was  abandoned,  farms,  farming  utensils,  stock,  house- 
hold furniture,  all  of  which  was  confiscated  by  the  enemy.  It  was  a 
hai-d  necessity  which  drove  him  from  ais  home  and  property,  and  as 
old  age  was  approaching,  left  him  almost  penniless  in  the  world. 
They  lived  in  Peru,  Union  Springs,  and  Palmyra,  N.  Y.,  and  in 

1816  he  removed  bis  family  to  Vermont,  where  his  friends  and  rel- 
atives, Mrs.  James  Sinclair,  Mrs.  Simeon  Walton,  and  Mrs.  Isaac 
Colby,  were  residing.     He  joined  his  son  in  Barre,  N.  Y.,  and  about 

1817  visited  relatives  in  Ohio,  and  called  upon  and  visited  Gren.  Ar- 
thur St.  Clair  of  Revolutionary  fame^  and  who  was  born  in  Thurso, 
Scotland.  The  General  was  then  living  on  Chestnut  Ridge  in  the 
Ligonier  Valley,  Penn.  It  was  about  eighteen  months  l^fore  the 
General's  death.  His  dwelling  was  a  double  log  house  of  the  west- 
em  style,  which  a  neighborhood  would  put  up  in  an  afternoon.  It 
was  in  tb»  vicinity  of  the  large  estate  which  he  owned  at  the  com- 
mencement of  the  Revolution.  At  that  time  Greneral  St.  Clair  was 
farming ;  help  being  short  his  visitor,  James  St.  Clair,  lent  an  as- 
sisting hand  and  helped  him  sebure  his  crop  of  com.  He  staid  with 
the  General  some  three  months.  The  incidents  of  this  visit  and  the 
assistance  he  rendered  the  General  were  often  related  to  his  family, 
and  afforded  him  pleasure  and  delight.  The  subject  of  their  rel- 
ationship  was  discussed  by  theni,  and  he  stated  on  his  return  that 
they  were  relatives,  "cousins";  the  degree  of  cousinship  was  not 
stated.     (See  pedigree  of  John  Sinkler  of  Exeter,  N.  H.,  page  44.)

[161 


He  returned  to  BaiTe,  N.  Y.,  where  he  resided  with  hia  family  un- 
til his  death,  Jan.  27,  1836.  In  personal  appearance  he  was  tall 
and  commanding,  nearly  six  feet  in  height,  straight  as  an  arrow, 
with  blue  eyes,  brown  hair,  fair  and  light  complexion.  His  mental 
powers  were  more  than  ordinary,  and  he  was  very  intelligent.  In 
his  old  age  his  mind  went  back  to  the  scenes  of  his  youth,  the  asso- 
ciations of  his  boyhood.  He  often  spoke  of  his  brother,  Thomas 
Sinclair  of  Meredith,  and  frequently  mentioned  Zebulon  and  Constan- 
tine  Sinclair,  and  his  grandchildren  always  supposed  they  were  his 
brothers.  When  telling  of  their  boyish  pranks  he  would  rub  his 
hands  with  glee  •and  laugh  heartily.  Thus  did  he  re-live  the  life  of 
his  youth.  A  notice  published  at  the  time  of  his  death  thus  sums 
up  his  life:-  ''He  was  at  the  battles  of  Monmouth,  and  Brandy- 
wine  :  was  at  Valley  Forge,  and  at  the  taking  of  Burgoyne.  He  was 
at  West  Point  at  the  time  of  Arnold's  treason,  and  in  the  unsuccess- 
ful attack  on  Quebec,  and  in  several  other  actions  of  less  impor- 
tance." 

He  married  Sarah,  daughter  of  Philip  Hunt  of  Haverhill,  N.  H;, 
and  later  of  Sanbornton,  N.  H.,  where  many  of  his  descendants 
still  live.  She  was  bom  June  5,  1759,  married  in  1783,  and  died 
in  Barre,  in  the  part  now  Albion,  N.  Y.,  March  10,  1834.  He 
spelled  his  name  Sinclair  or  Sinclear  until  late  in  life  when  he 
changed  the  orthography  to  St.  Clair.  These  are  f  ae-similes  of  his 
autographs,  appended  to  pension  papers  in  the  Pension  Office  at 
Washington,  D.  C.  In  his  discharge  papers  his  name  is  spelled 
James  Sinclear.  In  his  application  for  pension,  June  12,  1818, 
h€  signed  his  name  James  Sinclear.

In  his  aCBdavit  asking  for  the  transfer  of  the  payment  of  his  pen- 
sion from  one  agency  to  another,  Sept.  4,  1820,  he  signed  his  name 
James  St.  Clair. 

The  latter  orthography  he  followed  in  the  later  years  of  his  life, 
and  it  is  the  form  adopted  by  his  family  and  descendants.

He  was  horn  in  Newmarket,  N.  H.,  May  22,  1758.  (See  latter  part  of 
James  St.  Clair's  sketch.  No.  150.)  In  personal  appearance  he  was  tall 
and  commanding,  was  fully  six  feet  in  height,  well  proportioned,  and 
weighed  more  than  two  hundred  pounds,  was  intelligent,  social,  and 
fond  of  society.  He  was  a  soldier  of  the  Revolution,  and  many  were 
the  tales  he  told  of  his  experiences  on  scouting  expieditions  against 
the  Indians,  and  his  dangers  in  camp  and  field.  While  traveling 
through  the  forests  they  went  in  Indian  file,  kept  continually  in 
motion,  and  with  their  dippers,  without  for  a  moment  stopping, 
scooped  up  the  water  to  drink  from  the  flowing  streams  they  passed. 
Thus  were  they  continually  on  the  lookout  for  the  wily  foe,  who 
might  lie  in  ambush. 

At  the  commencement  of  the  Revolutionary  struggle  he  enlisted  in 
Capt.  Jeremiah  Clough's  company,  in  Col.  Enoch  Poor's  regiment, 
Gren.  John  Sullivan's  brigade,  and  served  one  year,  from  the  last  of 
December,  1775,  to  the  last  of  December,  1776.  At  this  time  he 
was  of  Sanbomton,  N.  H.,  and  enlisted  there. 

He  entered  the  Continental  service  for  the  war,  and  served  till 
April  1,  1778, —  one  year  and  three  months, —  when  he  procured  a 
substitute  and  returned  home.  During  this  period  he  was  a  member 
of  a  company  commanded  by  Lieut.-Col.  Ebenezer  Smith,  which  on 
the  alarm  of  July  7,  1777,  marched  for  the  relief  of  the  garrison  at 
Ticonden^a,  a  nine  days'  service.  The  expedition  was  fraitless  of 
beneficial  results,  as  Greneral  St.  Clair,  who  was  in  command,  deemed 
himself  unable  to  check  the  advance  of  General  Burgoyne,  and  so 
abandoned  the  fort. 

Young  Sinclair  saw  honorable  service  soon  after.  General  Bur- 
goyne having  sent  a  detachment  of  his  army  to  seize  a  large  amount 
of  stores  at  Bennington,  Vt.,  was  met  by  troops  under  General  Stark 
of  New  Hampshire,  and  defeated  Aug.  16,  1777.     Sinclair  was  in

that  battle,  and  continued  with  the  forces  which  pressed  on  and 
joined  the  American  army,  which  at  Saratoga  and  Stillwater  defeated 
Rurgoyne,  and  caused  his  snnender  to  Gen.  Horatio  Gates  Oct.  7. 

'*  Burgoyne.  unoonscioufi  of  Impending  fates, 

Could  cut  his  wny  through  woods,  but  not  through  Gates." 

He  was  for  «  time  in  Captain  Addridge's  company  of  rangers, 
under  Major  Whitcomb,  which  was  stationed  on  the  frontier  of 
Canada,  and  was  besides  in  severnl  skirmishes  with  the  Indians. 

After  the  war  he  lived  in  Sandwich,  and  sold  bis  land  of  27  acres 
Feb.  2,  1790,  to  Hezekiah  Webster.  Was  then  a  resident  of  Mere- 
dith, where  he  sold  his  land  of  165  acres  and  buildings  to  William 
Mead  Sept.  1,.  1801.  He  sold  land  in  Holdemess  to  Jonathan  Towle 
April  16,  1810.  He  then  lived  in  Holdemess,  in  that  section  of  the 
town  and  on  the  faim  owned  in  1888  by  Edward  Merrill,  and  occu- 
pied by  Samuel  D.  Merrill.  The  original  buildings  are  now  demol- 
ished. They  stood  on  a  little  plot  of  ground  he  had  reserved  on  a 
gently  sloping  hillside.  Late  in  life,  when  the  inflmiities  of  age  bad 
bowed  his  once  stalwart  form  and  greatly  reduced  his  strength,  be  re- 
moved a  half-mile  distant  and  spent  the  last  years  with  his  son 
Zebulon.  It  is  the  farm  owned  and  lived  upon  in  1888  by  his  grand- 
son, John  Taylor  Gilnian  Sinclair,  in  East  Holdemess,  two  miles 
distant  from  Squog  bridge.  He  received  a  pension  from  the  govern- 
ment for  his  valiant  military  services. 

He  was  married  by  Rev.  Joseph  Woodman  of  Saubomton,  N.  H., 
to  Annie  Conant  March  1,  1779.  She  was  probably  of  Newmarket, 
and  was  born  Dec.  10,  1754.  Her  last  years  were  ones  of  much 
suffering,  caused  by  a  severe  fall,  which  made  her  a  cripple  and

172.  Constantino  Sinclair*  [65]  (Thomas*,  Joseph*,  James*,  John>) . 
Probably  born  in  Newmarket,  N.  H.  (See  latter  part  of  sketch  of 
James  St.  Clair,  No.  150. )  He  was  a  farmer,  and  was  early  a  resident 
of  Meredith,  N.  H.  In  official  documents  he  is  called  of  New  Hampton, 
'ind  also  of  Meredith.  His  home  was  evidently  near  the  boundary  lino 
of  the  two  towns,  and  it  is  hard  to  determine  in  which  it  was  situated, 
but  probably  in  Meredith.  As  early  as  Nov.  2,  1772,  he  owned  and 
probably  lived  upon  lot  No.  19,  in  the  2d -division  of  lands  in  Mere- 
dith. A  portion  of  this  lot  was  owned  at  this  date  by  Benjamin 
Sinclair  and  his  brother  Thomas  Sinclair,  both  of  that  town  at  that 
date.  A  little  later  James  St.  Clair,  brother  of  the  foregoing,  was  a 
resident  of  Meredith,  and  on  March  5,  1790,  Jacob  Sinclair  of 
Epping,  N.  H.,  a  cousin  of  the  foregoing,  was  a  near  neighbor  to 
them,  but  within  the  limits  of  New  Hampton,  thus  adding  one  more 
to  the  clan  Sinclair,  who  had  been,  or  were  then,  residents  of  Mere- 
dith and  New  Hampton,  and  who  lived  in  close  proximity  to  each 
other. 

Constantine  Sinclair  bought  land  in  New  Hampton  March  1,  1781. 

He  married  Huldah ,  who  survived  him.    But  the  time  approached 

when  this  pioneer  could  no  longer  fell  the  forest  and  convert  into 
smiling  fields  with  abundant  harvest  the  land  where  only  gloomy 
woods  had  stood  before.  Sickness  came  to  him,  and  in  spite  of  the 
ser\'ices  of  his  attending  physician.  Dr.  Beniah  Sanborn,  he  died 
previous  to  Sept.  3,  1783. 

On  that  date  the  administration  of  his  estate  was  granted  to  Ben- 
jamin Pease  of  Meredith.  Inventory  of  estate  was  taken  Nov.  27, 
1783 ;  the  widow's  third  set  off  Dec.  8,  1788 ;  and  license  granted  to 
sell  the  real  estate  July  23,  1784.  There  is  no  record  or  mention  of 
children. 

173.  Jeremiah  Sinclair*  [70]  (John*,  Joseph*,  James*,  John^). 
He  was  bom  in  Pembroke,  N.  H.,  in  1765,  and  his  youth  was  spent 
in  Wolf  borough,  N.  H.,  as  his  father  was  a  resident  there  during 
those  years.  He  went  as  a  soldier  in  the  Revolution  from  that  town 
when  young,  enlisting  Sept.  21,  1781,  and  was  dischai^ed  Nov.  6 
of  the  same  year.  He  was  in  Capt.  Jacob  Smith's  company  of  ran- 
gers, raised  fo^  the  defense  of  the  northern  frontiers  of  New  Hamp- 
shire, and  was  under  Col.  Joseph  Whipple  and  Col.  David  Page. 

He  was  living  in  Wolfborough  on  Dec.  23,  1783,  and  signed  a

After  the  close  of  the  war  he  resided  in  Eaton,  N.  H.,  and  bought 
Oct.  19,  1799,  of  Eli  Glines  one  hundred  and  fifty  acres,  "the  land 
he  now  lives  on,"  for  three  hundred  dollars.  This  was  one  mile  from 
Eaton  Centre  and  near  Glines'  Hill.  Later  he  removed  to  Essex, 
Vt.,  where  lived  his  father,  bought  a  farm,  erected  buildings,  and 
there  spent  the  remainder  of  his  life.  He  was  a  soldier  of  two  wars, 
the  Revolution  and  the  last  war  with  Great  Britain,  1812-16.  He 
was  with  the  company  from  Essex,  Vt.,  and  with  them  participated 
in  the  fight  at  Plattsburg,  N.  Y.  He  was  large,  with  florid  complex- 
ion, dark  hair,  stood  more  than  six  feet  in  height,  weighed  two  hun- 
dred and  twenty-five  pounds,  was  strong  and  powerful,  and  in  his 
youth  was  fond  of  athletic  sports,  and  was  noted  for  his  great 
strength  and  successful  feats  in  lifting,  jumping,  and  wrestling,  the 
games  then  in  vogue  at  all  public  fairs  and  many  public  gatherings. 
Was  a  farmer. 

The  maiden  name  of  Mrs.  Sinclair  was  Abigail,  sister  of  Col.  Eli 
Glines  of  Eaton,  N.  H.  She  was  born  in  that  town  in  1765;  died 
in  Essex,  Vt.,  Aug.  13,  1826,  aged  sixty-one  years. 

They  attended  and  were  members  of  the  Freewill  haptist  church. 
Mr.  Sinclair  died  in  Essex  Nov.  19,  1822,  and  they  and  other  Sin- 
clairs  are  buried  in  the  cemetery  at  Essex  Centre,  Vt.

1 9(5.  Capt.  Joseph  Sinclair*  [74]  (John*,  Joseph*,  James*,  John*) . 
He  was  bom  March  16,  I77l»,  probably  in  Wolfborough,  N.  H.,  of 
which  place  his  father  was  a  resident.  His  home  was  in  Kssex,  Vt., 
on  a  farm,  lately  owned  by  Joshua  Whitcomb,  in  close  proximity  to 
the  bridge  which  crosses  Brown's  river,  and  was  a  farmer  and  lum- 
berman. He  owned  and  operated  a  sawmill  at  Jericho  Comer,  two 
miles  from  his  home.  Like  all  his  race  he  was  patriotic,  and  like  the 
majority  of  them  he  rendered  military  service  to  his  country. 

During  the  war  of  1812-'15  he  was  Captain  of  the  Essex  military 
company  which  rallied  to  the  support  of  the  American  cause,  and 
participated  in  the  victorious  battle  of  Plattsburg,  N.  Y.,  which  car- 
ried such  Joy  to  the  hearts  of  Americans. 

He  took  the  Freeman's  Oath  early  in  life,  Sept.  6,  1803. 

Mr.  Sinclair  was  an  energetic  and  successful  business  man.  Large 
in  stature,  he  stood  fully  six  feet  in  height,  with  dark  hair  and  fair 
complexion.     He  died  in  Essex,  Vt.,  Dec.  2,  1857. 

Mrs.  Sinclair's  maidet\  name  was  Polly  Thompson  of  that  town, 
born  March  2,  1780.

the  middle  of  Febnmry,  1777,  having  Itecn  twenty-two  uionthH  in  tho 
serA'ice  when  he  was  {Usohnrged  at  Mon-istown,  N.  Y.  Thus  ended 
his  military  career.  Me  is  called  liientenant,  having  tilled  that  otiloe 
probably  in  the  militia. 

On  June  U\,  1777,  he  was  married  to  Kaehel  ClilTord  of  Kpping, 
N.  H.,  who  was  born  Jan.  15,  17oJf,  and  on  March  '24,  I77H,  he 
rented  of  Henry  Butler  of  Nottingham  a  farm  in  Kpping,  which  Dr. 
Fisk  had  owned,  and  where  he  died.  On  this  place  he  live<l  some 
three  years  and  perhaps  longer.  His  residence  in  Kpping  contiimed 
till  1T90.  On  the  22d  of  February,  175M),  "James  Sinclear  of 
Kpping,  dentleman,"  for  £100  Iwught  of  Andrew  Neale,  black- 
smith, and  his  wife  Mary,  formerly  of  Kxeter  Itut  then  of  New  Hajup- 
ton,  a  farm  of  50  acres,  with  buildings,  in  the  latter  town.  This 
faiTO  Neale  had  purchased  July  5,  1777,  of  Daniel  Ward  of  Moul- 
touborough,  N.  H.,  and  was  situated  in  that  part  of  Moultonlioi-ougli 
called  the  "Gore,"  aftemrards  included  in  New  Ham|)ton.  On  the  2<1 
of  March,  1700,  with  his  teams  and  loaded  giMtds  he  left  Kpping  for 
his  now  home,  at  which  he  arrive<l  on  March  5th,  and  which  was 
ever  after  his  abode.  He  liveil  in  the  log  house  of  his  predecessor 
for  nine  years,  when  he  erected  the  large  and  connnodious  house,  on 
the  same  site,  which  was  occupied  by  his  grandson,  the  late  Charles 
P.  St.  Clair.  The  brick  for  its  massive  chimney  (which  tt)ok  20,000) 
he  made  and  burned  himself. 

Mr.  St.  Clair  was  a  tlirifty  settler  and  soon  doubled  his  area  of 
territory  by  purchasing  the  fai-m  of  his  neighbor,  Jonathan  Dow,  and 
fifty  more  acres  of  Dca.  John  Rand.  He  was  a  tailor  as  well  as 
faimer,  and  most  of  the  deerskin  breeches  and  other  tailor  work  of 
the  neighborhooil  were  made  by  him,  for  which  his  neighlmrs  in  pay- 
ment worked  upon  his  farm.  Thus  was  his  farm  successfully  culti- 
vated witli  but  little  of  his  personal  labor  upon  it. 

For  his  military  services  he  received  a  pension  of  eight  dollars  per 
month,  commencing  Mai-ch  5,  1819.  The  certificate  allowing  his 
claim  is  signed  by  John  C.  Calhoun,  Secretai^  of  War,  and  is  in  the 
possession  of  his  grandson,  as  well  as  other  valuable  relics  of  this 
early  settler. 

He  and  his  wife  and  family  were  constant  attendants  of  the  church 
at  New  Hampton  Centre,  and  there  some  of  his  children  were  bap- 
tized. 

The  home  of  Mr.  St.  Clair  was  on  a  high  elevation  in  New  Hampton, 
and  the  view  of  the  country  around  is  fine  indeed.  The  abode  of  his 
relative,  Thomas  Sinclair,  a  pioneer  settler  of  New  Salem,  afterwai-ds 
Meredith,  was  two  miles  away  in  the  east  in  a  small  valley.  Zebu- 
Ion  Sinclair,  another  relative,  was  a  resident  of  Meredith  till  1801.

notliing  is  known,  but  when  the  time  approached  for  the  nmiiluKKl  of 
America  to  assert  itself,  he  came  to  the  front.  He  was  one  of  tliose 
ready,  when  the  houi  came,  to  resist  Britisli  aggressions.  When  the 
Kiiglish  commander  in  Hoston  sent  forth  a  detachment  of  his  forces 
to  destroy  the  stores  of  the  patriots  at  I^xiiigton,  and  which  resulted 
in  the  battle  of  that  name  April  Il>,  1 775,  the  whole  land  was  aroused. 
The  troops  of  New  Hampshire  immediately  prepared  for  war,  and 
young  Sinclair  was  one  of  them.  He  was  then  of  Kpsoin,  lieing  there 
in  177.').  On  May  2,  HTft,  he  enlisted  as,  a  drummer  for  H  months  in

served  his  8  mouths,  and  in  the  last  of  December  enlisted  for  1  year 
in  Capt.  Amos  Morrill's  company.  Col.  John  Stark's  regiment,  and 
was  with  the  American  army  at  St.  Johns,  one  hundred  and  fifteen 
miles  north  of  Ticonderoga,  which  was  the  first  British  port  in 
Canada.  There  on  the  14th  of  June,  1776;  he  was  severely  wounded, 
by  being  shot  through  the  wrist  of  his  left  arm  with  two  musket  balls, 
which  fractured  both  bones,  "  by  which  he  lost  the  use  of  his  hand."

While  this  wound  unfitted  him  for  much  manual  labor,  and  for  the 
ordinary  duties  of  the  soldier,  it  did  not  quench  his  patriotic  ardor 
nor  dampen  his  military  enthusiasm.  He  was  still  zealous  to  share 
the  dangers  of  camp  and  field  in  the  cause  of  liberty  and  the  defence 
of  his  counti'y.

After  the  expiration  of  liig  year's  service,  he  re-enlisted  Feb.  17, 
1777,  for  three  years,  under  Capt.  Michael  McCleary,  3d  N.  H.  regi- 
ment,  commanded  by  Col.  Alexander  Scammell.  He  enlisted  for 
Loudon,  and  at  the  time  was  a  i-esident  of  Epsom,  N.  H.  He  was 
also  a  part  of  the  time  in  Capt.  James  Gray's  company  of  3d  regi- 
ment ;  was  a  drummer,  and  promoted  to  a  drum-major  May  28,  1771). 
During  this  tei-m  of  sen-ice  he  participated  in  the  battle  of  Benning- 
ton, Aug.  16,  1777,  where  the  British  troops  were  routed;  was  at 
the  battle  of  Saratoga,  where  his  commanding  officer,  Capt. 
McCleary,  was  killed,  and  at  the  final  surrender  of  Gen.  Burgoyne, 
Oct.  17,  1777,  he  was  present. 

In  the  following  year,  1778,  he  was  with  that  portion  of  the  anny 
which  hung  upon  the  rear  of  the  British  army  in  their  march  into  New 
Jersey,  and  participated  in  that  fearfully  contested  but  successful 
battle  of  Monmouth  on  June  28. 

The  following  season,  1779,  he  was  with  his  i-egiment,  the  3d  N. 
H.,  under  Gen.  John  Sullivan,  in  the  campaign  against  the  Indians 
between  Wyoming,  Pa.,  and  Niagara,  N.  Y.  They  marched  througli 
the  wilderness, '  over  rocky  glens  and  mountain  ridges,  through 
gloomy  and  hardly  penetrable  swamps,  and  forded  rushitig  rivers, 
ever  going  "through  the  unsoiled  remnant  of  a  world"  seldom  or 
never  trod  save  by  the  lurking  foe.  He  participated  in  the  successful 
battle  with  the  Indians  at  Newtown  (now  Elmira,  N.  Y.)  Aug.  29, 
1779.  Indian  towns  were  niined,  and  their  mar\'elous  fields  of  corn 
and  grain  were  everywhere  destroyed.  Devastation  and  ruin  marked 
the  pathway  of  our  army.  The  expedition  started  from  Easton,  Pa., 
June  18,  1779,  and  returned  to  that  place  on  the  15th  of  the  follow- 
ing October. 

Sinclair  served  his  entire  term  of  enlistment  and  was  honorably 
discharged  at  Camp  Danbury,  Conn.,  Jan.  25,  1780,  by  Maj.  James 
Norris,  of  his  regiment  and  a  resident  of  Epping,  N.  H. 

He  was  at  one  time  a  resident  of  Pembroke,  N.  H.  After  his 
long  and  arduous  ser^^ce  in  the  army  he  located  in  Canterbury, 
N.  H.,  settling  there  previous  to  May  25,  1781;  at  that  date  he 
bought  80  acres  of  land  there  of  James  Glines  of  Concord,  N.  H. 
He  became  quilje  an  extensive  landholder ;  was  called  in  the  records 
Yeoman  and  Gentleman.  He  was  a  good  mechanic,  and  made  all  of 
his  plows  and  farming  utensils.  Was  a  deacon  of  ihe  church,  and 
looked  upon  with  much  respect  by  his  townsmen.  Was  large  in  size, 
and  5  feet  10  inches  high,  weighed  200  lbs.,  of  light  and  florid  com- 
plexion, was  commanding  in  his  appearance,  possessed  great  strength, 
and  was  noted  for  his  athletic  exploits.  His  \news  were  always  posi- 
tive, and  he  was  rigid  in  their  practical  execution.  His  long  and  use- 
ful life  was  closed  in  the  town  of  his  adoption  May  15,  1821, —  aged 
66  yrs.  2  mos.  25  days. 

His  wife  was  Lovina  Gault  of  Canterbury,  N.  H.,  who  was  born 
there  April  27,  1758,  and  died  Jan.  10,  1828,  very  suddenly  while

borough,  York  CO.,  Me.,  whera  he  purchased  a  tract  of  wild  land 
of  some  200  acres.  He  was  accompanied  to  that  place  by  acquain-

liam Gilpatrick,  and  Samuel  Cammett.  They  were  among  the  very 
earliest  settlers  of  that  town,  which  was  then  a  wilderness.  He  was

was  light  complexioned,  with  dark  hair  and  blue  eyes,  and  weighed 
some  170  pounds. 

He  was  prominent  in  local  affairs,  a  man  of  prayer  and  an  attend- 
ant of  the  Baptist  church.  The  family  altar  had  a  prominent  place 
in  his  family  and  he  was  rigid  in  his  observance  of  rdigious  duties. 

He  maiTied  April  13,  1784,  Mary  Peavey,  who  was  born  in  Brent- 
wood, N.  H.,  Sept.  2,  1763,  and  died  in  Waterboi'ough,  Me.,  Dec.

a  part  of  the  original  farm  of  bis  father  in  East  Sandwich,  on  farm 
now  lived  upon  by  his  grandson,  George  Robinson.  This  house 
stood  some  twenty  rods  north  of  the  home  of  his  father.  Was  a

in  what  is  now  Portland,  Me.,  and  carried  on  business  there.  He

land,  but  this  was  declined.  "Had  his  foresight  equaled  ttis  hind 
sight,"  as  Beecher  once  expressed  it,  his  fortune  would  hi|Ve  been 
made,  for  the  land  was  in  what  is  now  the  most  valuable  portion  of 
Portland.  He  returned  to  Sandwich,  lived  and  died  on  a  poi-tion  of 
the  old  homestead,  May  28,  1848,  aged  82  years,  and  is  buried  in

in  the  same  company  and  certified  to  Aug.  29,  1776,  as  a  soldier 
in  Capt.  Amos  Morrill's  company,  Col.  John  Stark's  regiment,  in  the 
Continental  Service,  mustered  into  serNice  July  1,  1777. 

He  shared  in  the  great  privations  and  sufferings  of  the  American 
army.  On  the  23d  of  December,  1777,  the  army  went  into  winter 
quarters  at  Valley  Forge,  about  22  miles  from  Hiiladelphia,  where  it 
remained  till  the  following  spring.  The  army  lived  in  huts  made  of 
round  logs,  covered  with  earth  and  straw.  It  was  during  this  dis- 
ti-essing  winter  that  this  patriotic  soldier  of  Bamstead  succumbed  to 
disease,  and  died  in  camp  March  5,  1778.* 

He  had  been  married  but  a  short  time.  His  wife  was  Sarah  Bun- 
ker of  Bamstead,  N.  H.  They  were  married  by  Rev.  William  Pai*- 
sons  June  26,  1777.  After  the  death  of  Mr.  Sinkler  she  was  mar- 
ried 2d,  Dec.  6,  1778,  by  Rev.  William  Parsons  to  Henry  Tib- 
betts  of  Bamstead.

lived  in  Bamstead,  N.  H. 

Fac-similc  of  his  autograph  in  early  life : 

Like  his  father,  brothers,  and  all  his  race  in  this  country,  he  pos- 
sessed military  spirit  which  found  abundant  scope  for  its  exercise  in 
the  Revolutionary  war,  which  broke  forth  just  as  he  had  attained 
young  manhood's  estate.  He  was  an  early  participant  in  that 
struggle,  and  was  a  soldier  almost  continually  by  repeated  enlist- 
ments. On  July  23,  1776,  he  became  a  member  of  the  company  of 
Capt.  Joseph  Badger,  Jr.,  raised  out  of  Col.  Joseph  Badger's  regi- 
ment, and  commanded  by  Col.  Joshua  Wingate,  ''to  re-enforce  the 
American  Army  supposed  to  be  at  Crown  Point."  The  term  of  en- 
listment was  short,  and  on  Aug.  29,  1776,  ho  had  been  again  mus- 
tered into  the  same  company  raised  for  service  in  Canada.  Our 
army  having  retreated  from  Canada,  the  regiment  Anally  joined  the 
Nortbem  army  in  New  York.  He  was  a  drammer  in  this  company. 
In  his  pension  papers  at  Washington,  D.  C,  it  is  stated  that  he  and 
his  company  marched  to  Ticonderoga,  was  stationed  awhile  at  Mt. 
Independence,  and  that  he  served  in  that  campaign  six  months. 

He  enlisted  April  23,  1777,  for  one  year,  in  Col.  Alexander 
Scammell's  company,  in  the  3d  Battalion  of  the  New  Hampshire 
forces.  He  served  his  term  and  enlisted  April  23,  1779,  for  one 
year  in  the  same  company  in  place  of  John  Mudgett. 

'Many  of  the  details  of  his  military  experience  will  be  found  in  the 
sketch  of  MaJ.  Samgel  Sinclair,  his  brother,  as  he  was  in  the  same  com- 
pttny  and  shared  in  the  same  experiences  up  to  the  time  of  his  death.

When  his  term  of  semce  had  cxpii-ed,  in  1780,  his  zeal  was  un- 
abated, and  lu!  was  still  a  valiant  soldier  and  patriot  despite  the 
fatgiies  and  iierils  of  his  campaigns.  It  was  a  time  of  great  depres- 
sion and  gloom  for  the  struggling  patriots.  The  campaign  of  1 77i) 
had  been  almost  entirely  baiTcii  of  beneficial  results  to  the  Americans. 
The  currency  was  depreciated.  The  winter  of  1780  had  been  in- 
tensely cold,  and  the  ill-clad,  ill-fed,  and  unpaid  American  soldiers 
had  endured  untold  sufferings.  Yet  the  fires  of  patriotism  glowed 
more  brightly,  and  new  sacrifices  were  promptly  made.  Moi-e  men 
were  needed  and  m()re  men  flocked  to  the  standard. 

The  fortress  of  West  Point,  on  the  Hudson,  was  of  vast  import- 
ance to  the  National  cause,  and  more  troops  were  needed  for  its 
defence.  New  Hamrnhire  raised  and  sent  at  least  two  regiments  for 
its  protection — 1>-  mi  Col.  Moses  Nichols,  and  that  of  Col.  Thomas 
Hartlett  of  Nottii.^  am.  Richard  Sinclair,  .Tr.,  enlisted  as  an  ensign 
in  this  latter  regiment  June  29,  1780.  He  was  in  the  company  com- 
manded by  his  father,  Capt.  Richard  Sinkler,  and  went  to  West 
Point. 

This  was  at  an  important  pei-iod  in  the  great  stniggle.  Benedict 
Arnold  became  commander-in-chief  of  the  fortress  and  plotted  its 
l)etrayal  into  the  hands  of  the  English.  Maj.  John  Andre,  a  Urit- 
tish  spy,  visited  him  on  the  night  of  Sept.  21,  1780.  He  was  arrest- 
ed, tried  as  a  spy,  and  executed  Oct  2d,  of  that  year.  The  traitor, 
Arnold,  escaped  to  the  English  lines.  Twenty-five  days  aft«r  the 
execution  of  Andre  this  company,  in  which  was  young  Sinclair  and 
his  father,  was  discharged,  and  they  retunied  to  Barustead. 

This  closed  his  highly  honorable  career  as  a  soldier.  No  sooner 
was  he  relieved  of  his  military  duties  than  he  resumed  those  of  a  pro- 
gressive and  public-spirited  citizen.  He  sei"ved  his  town  many  years 
as  a  public  officer.  He  was  Selectman  in  1781-82,  Surveyor  of 
Highways  in  1785,  '86,  '87,  '88,  and  '91,  Collector  of  Taxes  1783, 
'84,  '85. 

He  signed  a  petition  for  the  appointment  of  Capt.  Charles  Hodg- 
don  as  a  Justice  of  the  Peace  Dec.  23,  1788.  Was  moderator  of 
special  town  meetings  Feb.  2,  1789,  and  Jan.  13,  1801. 

He  was  chosen  one  of  the  town's  committee  Nov.  3,  1789,  to  settle 
the  boundary  lines  between  Barnstead  and  Ban-ington.  Soon  after 
he  and  others  successfully  petitioned  for  a  higher  tax  upon  the 
people,  so  that  they  might  be  enabled  to  build  a  bridge  across  the 
Suncook  river.  Was  a  juror  May  3,  1794,  and  a  member  of  a 
town's  important  committee  Mareh  31,  1795.  On  June  10,  1802,  his 
cousin,  Hon.  Bradbury  Cilley,  bought  land  in  Barnstead  of  him. 

For  $1000,  on  July  1,  1802,  he  sold  to  Charles  Hodgdon  of  Barn- 
stead, "  all  his  land  and  real  estate  in  the  town  of  Barnstead,  together 
with  two  pews  in  the  Northerly  Meeting  House  in  Barnstead,  adjoin- 
ing the  Minister's  pew  so  called,  and  the  other  write  over  it  in  the 
Gallory,  also  all  my  buildings  and  out-bouses  to  me  belonging." 

The  most  of  his  kindred  had  left  Barnstead.     His  brothers  were  in

Vermont,  Maine,  Pennsylvania,  and  New  York.  He  hod  the  feelings 
of  the  pioneer,  the  western  fever  was  upon  him,  and  about  180J> 
he  left  Barnstead  and  joined  his  brother,  John  Sinclair,  who,  more 
than  ten  years  before,  had  located  at  or  near  French  Creek,  Penn., 
and  which  was  not  far  distant  from  their  brother,  Samuel  Sinclair  of 
Sinclairville,  N.  Y.  It  is  probable  that  he  did  not  meet  with  the 
success  that  he  anticipated,  as  his  family  did  not  join  him. 

He  lived  with  his  brother,  and  in  1820  left  his  house  and  started 
on  a  visit  to  Cincinnati.  Was  taken  sick  on  the  way  and  died  in 
Ohio. 

His  wife  was  Elizabeth  (called  Betsey),  daughter  of  Charles 
Hodgdon  of  BaiTistead.  They  were  married  by  Rev.  William  Par- 
sons Oct.  27,  1784.  She  was  born  in  Barnstead  in  1762,  and  was  a 
near  neighbor  to  the  Sinklers.  Their  home  was  on  the  Old  Province 
Road  and  near  her  father's  house.  (See  map  of  Barnstead,  N.  H.) 
She  was  pensioned  by  the  government  for  her  husband's  Revolution- 
ary services.  "She  was  a  Puritan,"  was  much  beloved,  and  died 
lamented.  Her  death  occun-ed  in  Barnstead,  N.  H  .,  in  OfiO,  etc 
78  years.  ^

he  was  four  years  of  age,  his  father  removed  to  Gilmanton,  where  a  few 
years  of  his  boyhood  were  spent,  and  he  was  with  his  parents  in 
Barnstead,  N.  H.,  in  1767,  which  was  his  home  till  several  years 
after  the  close  of  the  Revolutionai-y  war. 

Having  inherited  a  large  amount  of  militaiy  spirit,  it  was  early 
developed,  and  found  abundant  room  for  its  exercise  in  the  stirring 
times  in  which  he  lived.  He  gave  the  best  of  his.  life  to  arduous 
military  service  in  the  cause  of  his  country.  He  enlisted  early  from

army,  supposed  to  be  at  Crown  Point.  On  Aug.  2'.>,  1776,  ho 
was  mustered  into  the  same  company  as  a  fifer.  This  force  was 
destined  for  service  in  Canada,  l)ut  our  army  having  retreated, 
it  Joined  the  American  forces  in  New  York.  The  terms  «)f  enlist- 
ment at  the  l)egiuning  of  the  war  were  often  of  short  duration. 

In  his  pension  papers,  now  on  tile  in  the  Pension  Office  in  Wash- 
ington,  D.  C,  he  says  that  he  was  a  nephew  of  Col.- Joseph  Cilley, 
and  was  attached  to  his  person. 

Ilis  bounty  as  a  Continental  soldier  from  Barnstead,  was  £27  13s  6d. 
He  enlisted  into  tlio  Continental  army  in  Capt.  Amos  Morrill's  com- 
pany, Col.  Joseph  Cilley's  regiment,  and  served  from  June  20,  1777, 
to  June  20,  1780,  and  was  honorably  discharged  at  West  Point, 
N.  Y.  This  was  the  1st  N.  H.  regiment,  and  with  the  2d  and  3d 
N.  H.  regiments  fonned  a  brigade,  was  stationed  at  Fort  Ticonderoga, 
on  Lake  Champlain,  under  Gen.  Sullivan,  where  it  remained  till 
July  6,  when  it  withdrew  on  the  approach  of  the  British  army  under 
(Jen.  John  Bnrgoyne. 

He  was  continuously  with  the  regiment  and  shared  its  fatiguing 
marches,  privations,  and  dangers.  He  was,  as  he  says  in  his  appli- 
cation for  a  pension,  in  both  battles  at  the  taking  of  Burgoyne  in 
Oct.  1777.  He  suffered  while  living  in  the  rude  log  huts,  in  which 
tlie  American  army  passed  the  yrinter  from  I)ec.  23,  1777,  till  the  fol- 
lowing spring  at  Valley  Forge.  He  was  with  the  army  the  following 
season,  and  was  in  the  battle  of  Monmouth,  on  June  28,  1 778.  It 
was  at  this  engagement  that  (4en.  Lee,  who  commanded  the  American 
forces,  ordered  a  retreat  and  for  its  nearly  disastrous  consequences 
received  a  shaip  and  stunning  rebuke  from  Washington.  Under  the 
eye  and  direction  of  the  commander-in-chief,  the  battle  recommenced 
and  neither  the  day  nor  honor  were  lost. 

Sinclair  shared  in  the  campaign  of  General  Sullivan  against  the 
Indians  of  the  Five  Nations,  and  was  in  the  engagement  at  New- 
town, now  Elmira,  N.  Y.,  Aug.  29,  1779.  • 

After  his  long  and  arduous  military  service  in  the  cause  of  his 
country,  he  engaged  actively  in  the  pursuits  of  peace.  He  helped  to 
develop  business  enterprises  which  had  necessarily  been  neglected 
and  prostrated  by  the  nearly  eight  years  of  war.

ity and  HteadincHK  of  |inr))OHe,  were  the  foundation  and  secrat  of  his 
)4U(>ceHH  in  after  life.  'I  he  Revolutionary  war  was  o|)ening  when  he 
liiul  nttnined  liiH  tbirtctiith  year,  and  tlie  times  were  |>ro|>itiouH  for  the 
(U>volo|tinent  of  liis  love  for  the  military  pi-ofession  and  Un  active  duty 
iiH  a  soldier  in  a  nol)U>  cause.  At  the  commencement  of  the  stniggic, 
w>i>>n  too  young  to  enlist  as  a  soldier,  he  attended  his  uncle  Col. 
•b"".(>h  Cilley  as  a  servant  for,  it  is  said,  one  year.  He  then  seiTed 
IIH  n  soldier  in  the  1st  N.  H.,  regiment,  one  of  the  most  distinguished 
ivgimentH  in  the  sen'ice  an<t  which  was  successfully  commanded  by 
four  celebrated  colonels.  Col.  John  Stark,  the  hero  of  Uennington, 
was  its  early  c(munander.  It  was  re-organized  by  Mr.  Sinclair's  uncle. 
Col.  Joseph  Cilley,  one  of  the  bravest  and  most  ettlcient  oHtcers  in  tlie 
American  army,  who  commanded  it  during  four  years  of  active  and 
iirdiioiis  service,  during  the  most  trying  peritxl  of  the  war  and  in  its 
most  im|H>rtant  marches,  battles,  and  campaigns. 

The  regiment  was  next  commandc<1  by  the  acct>mplishcd  Col. 
Alexander  S<>amiiiell,  at  «me  time  adjutant-general  of  the  Continental 
iiniiy,  and  who  died  at  Williamsbnrg,  Va.,  Oct.  6,  1781.  It  was 
lust  coniinunded  by  Col.  Henry  Dearborn,  Bubse(|uently  secretary-of- 
war  for  eight  years,  and  a  general  in  the  last  war  with  (ireat  Britain. 

Mr.  Sinclair  enlisted  for  three  years  into  this  n^giineiit,  in  Capt. 
iVinoH  Morrill's  company,  June  20,  1777,  and  was  mustered  into  ser- 
vice July  1  of  that  year,  and  was  then  fifteen  years  of  age.* 

He  was  with  the  regiment  at  Kort  Ticonderoga  when  the  approa(^li 
of  (Seneral  Biirgoyne  compelled  the  Americans  to  eviu'iiate.  The  1st 
N.  II.  regiment  struck  its  tents  on  July  6,  1777  and  marched  thirty 
miles  to  Castleton,  Vt.  During  five  rainy  days,  the  regiment  con- 
tinued its  inarch  to  the  Hudson  river,  being  without  shelter  and  suf- 
fering greatly  for  provisions.  On  Sept.  19,  1777,  the  regiment  led 
by  Colonel  Cilley  rendered  most  distinguished  sei-vice  in  the  first 
battle  of  Stillwater  or  Benius's  Heights.  Bancroft  in  his  account  of 
the  battle  speaks  highly  of  this  i-egiment.  In  the  second  battle, 
called  the  Battle  of  Saratoga,  Oct.  7,  1777,  Colonel  Cilley  and  his 
regiment  rendered  still  more  valiant  service,  and  it  was  upon  this 
ensanguined  Held  that  Kbenezer  Sinclair  fell  for  bis  country. t 

Samuel  Sinclair  often  described  the  awful  silence  that  prevailed  as 
the  New  Hampshire  troops  moved  steadily  up  the  slope  toward  the 
British  grenadiers,  who  stood  in  bold  relief  with  their  bayonets 
glistening  in  the  sun.  His  position  was  in  the  center  of  the  company 
and  in  the  front  rank.  The  first  discharge  of  musketry  passed  harm- 
lessly over  the  heads  of  the  men  from  the  Granite  State,  who  rushed 


*  His  brothers,  Bradbury  and  John  Sinclair,  from  Barnstead,  and  his  rela- 
tive, Ebenezer  Sinclair,  from  Weare,  N.  H.,  were  In  the  same  company.  'ITie 
former  enlisted  and  were  mustered  In  the  same  day  and  shared  the  cam- 
paign with  him.

UHHidting  in  Idiiding  it  he  turned  it  upon  the  retreiitini;  enemy.

inarched  to  intercept  a  force  of  the  enemy  who  had  advanced  throu);ii 
the  w«mmU.  Mr.  Sinclair  heard  dintinctly  Uie  wonlH  of  the  British  ottl- 
cer  in  conunantl  to  *'  fix  bayonets  and  charge  the  rebeln".  Colonel 
Cilley'H  clarion  voice  rang  out  ho  loudly  hia  defiant  reply  as  to  In' 
heard  by  the  Kritbh,  ''That  is  a  game  that  two  can  play  at",  and 
res'>lutely  ordered  IiIh  men  to  advance  and  charge.  Then  eniiued  n 
contefit  which  drove  the  Uritiah  from  thi-  field,  and  in  which  Colonel 
Cilley  was  Hlightly  wounded. 

Ten  days  later  the  enemy  HUiTondered  at  Saratoga,  and  the  lat  N. 
II.  ragiment  moved  alowly  southward,  and  on  Nov.  2l8t  Joined  the 
army  under  (General  Wagliiugton,  at  Whitemarsh,  thirteen  miles  from 
Philadelphia.  Un  Dec.  lIHh  of  that  year  the  regiment  marched  to 
Valley  Forge  and  took  up  its  winter  quarters.  They  lived  in  log  luitM 
covered  with  earth  and  straw.  The  sufferings  of  the  regiment  wliile 
at  this  place  were  intense  for  want  of  proper  clothing  and  food,  and 
by  reason  of  great  exposure,  between  forty  and  fifty  men  of  this  regi- 
ment died  during  the  winter  and  spring  and  early  summer  follow- 
ing its  encampment  at  Valley  Forge.  Among  them  was  Mr.  Sinclair's 
brother,  Hradbury  Sinclair,  who  died  March  5,  177H. 

In  June,  177H,  the  army  moved  out  of  its  winter  quarters  and  occu- 
pied Philadelphia,  which  tlu'  British  had  evacuated.  It  pursued  the 
enemy  across  New  Jersey  iiiid  fell  in  with  British  at  Monmouth,  and 
on  the  28th  of  June,  Mr.  Sinclair  with  the  regiment  participated  in 
the  battle.  The  day  was  fearfully  hot.  The  Ist  N.  H.  regiment  left 
their  coats  and  packs  at  Knglishtowu  before  the  tight,  which  gave 
them  a  great  advantage  over  the  enemy,  who  fought  in  their  warm 
coats.  Mr.  Sinclair  said  that  on  tliat  day  he  had  seen  many  soldiers 
lying  beside  of  a  stream  of  water  dead,  from  drinking  too  much  while 
heated,  and  with  not  a  wound  upon  them. 

After  this  battle  the  regiment  marched  northward  with  Washing- 
ton's army,  crossed  the  Hudson  and  camped  at  White  Plains,  where 
they  remained  until  September.  On  the  11th  of  September  the  Ist 
N.  H.  and  other  regiments  moved  eastward.  On  Dec.  2d  they  took  up 
winter  quarters  at  Reading,  Conn.,  where  they  remained  until  April 
10,  1779.  Then  they  marched  to  ttie  Highlands  of  the  Hudson, 
where  they  remained  until  May  9th,  when  they  moved  on  to  Easton, 
Penn.,  where  they  arrived  May  18th.  They  continued  their  march 
to  Wyoming,  Penn.,  the  scene  of  the  Indian  massacre  of  the  previous 
year.  On  July  31st  Colonel  Cilley  and  his  regiment  marched  with

\v«>i'i>  Joint'd  hy  the  army  of  .lanu'H  Clinton.  On  the  2(>tli  the  forces 
look  up  tlii'ir  tine  of  march  through  the  forests  of  the  Indian  country. 
At  Newtown,  near  KImira,  on  Aug.  2*.Hl\,  they  found  a  thousand 
or  more  Indians  under  the  "  Monstrous  lirandt,"  and  some  two 
hundred  whites  under  the  two  Hiitlers,  and  .lohnson  posted  Iwhind  a 
lirenstwork  whicli  extended  from  the  river  to  the  hills.  Poor's  bri- 
gade, including  Colonel  Cilley's  regiment,  marched  back  of  the  hills 
in  onler  to  cross  them  and  thus  gain  the  rear  of  the  enemy.  As 
tlioy  ascended  the  hill  they  were  fired  upon  by  the  Indians,  who  at 
the  same  moment  gave  a  most  hideous  yell,  which  resounded  through 
tlio  forest  and  made  the  whole  hillside  seem  to  l)e  covered  with  Indians. 
'I'lie  brigade  reached  the  top  of  the  hill  under  a  constant  fire.  The 
Indianu  tied  from  the  hilltop  and  breastwork  and  the  Americans 
were  victorious.  Mr.  Sinclair  was  in  this  battle  as  a  member  of 
Cilley's  regiment.  He  used  to  relate  amo  :{  other  incidents  of  the 
light,  that  he  saw  a  rock.'  place  on  the  bank  of  the  river,  where  the 
Indians  crossed  after  th  bottii*,  and  sonu  canoes  whicli  they  had 
used,  which  were  drench(<l  with  the  bl«  .«tl  of  the  wounded  and  dead. 
This  circumstance  is  referred  to,  al:-o,  in  Colonel  Stone's  life  of 
Mrandt. 

In  the  lattery^ars  of  hi.i  life  ,Mn:>r  Sincla'r  whe.,  a  resident  of 
Sinclairvill'.',  often  conversed  with  mdians  v '.o  had  participated  in 
tlie  battle.  The  Seneca  ReseiTation  was  f»,  \  a  few  miles  distant, 
and  parties  ot  Indians  often  came  to  hunt  ui<.  tish  along  the  banks 
of  the  Cassadaga  creek,  and  cam'^d  ->ear  Sinclairvi''  The  more 
intelligent  ones  were  in  the  habit  oi  isiting  him  Pt  I.ia  hotel,  and 
often  talked  of  Sullivan's  march  a  ains;  their  towns.  Had  this  infor- 
mation been  ke|)t  many  facts  of  interest  and  importance  re!  tl  u; 
to  the  battle  would  have  been  preserved. 

After  the  battle  the  arn».y  moved  forward  to  the  Indian  towns  on 
tlie  Genessee  river,  which  they  destroyed  with  their  fields  of  corn. 
'I'he  Indian  country  was  loid  waste  ami  the  army  leturned  cast, 
arriving  at  Kaston,  Penn.,  Oct.  lb.  i779. 

In  this  expedition  Mr.  Sinclair  went  as  far  west  as  Painted  Post, 
Steuben  co.,  New  York,  then  regarded  as  a  waste  country.  Little 
did  he  dream  that  in  a  little  more  than  thirty  years,  he  would 
push  one  hundred  miles  farther  into  th«  wilderness,  mid  found  a 
beautiful  and  thriving  village.  Yet  such  was  the  case.  After  leav- 
ing Kaston  the  army  went  into  winter  quarters  Ilec.  Ist  at  a  place 
lietween  Danbury  t.<]  Newtown,  Conn.  There  it  remained  until 
April  6,  1780,  whe.f  h-  Mr.  Sinclair,  was  honorably  dischorg***' .  and 
was  probably  at  West  i»oint,  N.  Y.,  with  his  reutiment  at  tbt  time. 
He  was  then  but  eighteen  years  of  age,  and  hatl  had  a  remaikalrie 
experience  for  so  young  a  soldier.  He  had  seen  three  years  of  ardu- 
ous service  in  a  gallant  and  active  regiment,  under  one  of  the  most 
courageo' 8  'fiicers  in  the  army.  Four  of  the  Sinclairs  were  in  the 
same  company  at  the   commencement   of   his   three  years'  service.

142         MAJ.  SAMUEL  SINCLAIR,  OF  SINCLAIRVILLE,   N.  Y. 


[388 


Two  had  died  in  the  service  and  two,  himself  and  his  brotlier  Joshua, 
who  had  shared  all  his  campaigns  with  him,  were  discharged  the  sanu' 
day,  and  these  two  returned  to  Barnstead,  N.  H. 

It  is  a  remarkable  fact  that  ho  many  of  a  family  or  connec- 
tion should  be  in  the  service.  Mr.  Sinclair's  uncle.  Col.  Joseph 
Cilley,  commanded  the  regiment.  Perhaps  a  little  later  than  his  dis- 
charge his  father,  Capt.  Richard  Sinkler,  and  his  bmther,  Lt.  Ricii- 
ard  Sinclair,  were  in  Col.  Thomas  Bartlett's  regiment  and  were  at 
West  Point. 

Tiie  three  yeare  of  service  closed  his  active  military  career.  He 
had  rendered  effective  aid  to  his  country,  bad  endured  hardship  as  a 
good  soldier,  and  toward  the  close  of  his  life  was  pensioned  by  the 
government.  After  his  return  to  New  Hampshire  he  spent  some  time 
in  Barnstead  and  in  Gilmanton,  being  in  the  latter  town  in  17H8. 
He  was  a  resident  of  Vassalborough,  Me.,  in  17H4,  and  on  April  10. 
1788,  he  purchased  land  there.  This  was  on  the  Kennebec  river, 
where  he  erected  sawmills  and  got  out  masts  and  ship  timber  for 
market.  Before  179f»  he  had  again  i-emoved  to  the  l)oiilers  of  settle- 
ment in  New  York  and  settled  at  Utica,  intending  to  purchase  real 
estate  there.  But  real  estate  was  rapidly  enhancing  in  value  so  that 
he  made  no  purchases.  While  at  Utica  he  worked  upon  the  long 
bridge  over  the  Mohawk  river.  About  1795  he  resided  for  a 
year  at  Cherry  Valley,  N.  Y.,  wliich  had  been  settled  previ6u8ly  by 
people  of  Scotch  blood  from  the  Scotch  settlements  of  Windham  and 
Londonderry,  N.  H.  He  made  no  purehases  of  land  there  as  land 
was  too  high  in  price,  and  he  again  ^^  moved  on."  Much  of  Mr.  Sin- 
clair's life  had  been  spent  upon  the  f roatier  and  he  was  accustomed 
to  its  hardships.  Being  an  unusually  strong  and  resolute  man,  fam- 
iliar with  the  expedients  of  border  life  and  skilled  in  all  its  methods, 
he  was  inclined  by  the  habits  of  his  life  to  move  with  the  line  of 
settlement  as  it  extended  westwai-d. 

Madison  county,  N.  Y.,  lying  west  of  Utica  and  Cherry  Valley, 
prior  to  1790  was  an  unbroken  wilderness.  Soon  after,  settlements 
began  and  Mr.  Sinclair  became  a  settler  in  Eaton,  that  county, 
before  April  11,  1796,  as  he  received  a  commission  as  Captain  in  the 
militia  bearing  that  date.  Subsequently,  while  a  resident  of  Eaton, 
he  was  by  Governor  Jay  commissioned  as  First  Major  of  Militia  and 
was  ever  after  known  by  that  title.  He  w^as  a  farmer  while  there,  and 
owned  landed  estate  on  the  Chenango  river.  He  was  a  contractor 
for  building  a  portion  of  the  turnpike  from  Cherry  Valley,  N.  Y., 
through  Madison  and  Morrisville  to  Syracuse.  He  was  owner  of 
stock  in  this  turnpike,  and  it  was  while  fulfilling  his  contract  tliat  he 
ceased  to  be  a  citizen  of  Eaton.  On  Sept.  12,  1805,  for  one  thou- 
sand dollars,  he  bought  fifty-five  acres  of  land  in  the  village  of  Madi- 
son, Madison  co.,  N.  Y.,  and  became  a  resident  about  1806.  For 
fourteen  hundred  dollars  he  bought,  on  April  30,  1807,  fifty-seven 
more  acres.  He  cleared  this  land  and  erected  the  first  tavern  in  that 
village,  in  which  he  resided  as  long  as  he  remained  in  Madison.     But

now  the  rich  and  fertile  region  of  western  New  York,  known  as  the 
Holland  Piu'cha8e,came  into  market.  Where  now  are  several  lai-ge 
cities,  fifty  villages,  and  half  a  million  inhabitants,  was  then  a  dense 
wilderness  of  magnificent  forest  trees,  unbroken  except  by  the  rivers 
and  lakes,  and  here  and  there,  at  wide  interA'als,  by  the  clearings 
that  had  been  commenced  by  the  early  settlers. 

The  land  of  the  Holland  Purchase  was  offered  for  sale  at  twenty 
HJiillings  per  acre,  while  its  price  in  Madison  and  the  eastern  coun- 
ties of  the  state  was  much  higher.  Mr.  Sinclair  saw  that  his  large 
family  of  boys  in  a  few  years  would  demand  a  wider  field  for  their 
employment  than  his  narrow  possessions  at  Madisonville  affoi-ded. 
For  these  reasons,  and  a  natural  partiality  for  pioneer  life,  he  was 
led  to  seek  a  home  still  farther  in  the  West.  Accordingly,  about 
1808,  Mr.  Sinclair  journeyed  through  the  new  and  unsettled  region  of 
the  West  to  French  Creek;  in  noi-th-westem  Pennsylvania,  to  where 
his  brother,  John  Sinclair,  resided,  and  there  purchased  lands,  after 
which  he  returned  to  Madison  county.  In  1809  he  again  travelled 
through  the  wilderness  to  French  Creek,  intending  to  prepare  for  a 
residence  there.  Finding  his  title  to  the  land  at  French  Creek  to  be 
doubtful  he  sold  his  interest  in  it,  and  in  the  fall  of  1809  com- 
menced his  journey  back  to  Madison.  On  his  way  he  stopped  at 
the  land  oflQce  at  Batavia,  N.  Y.,  with  a  view  of  obtaining  land  at 
Home  isolated  part  for  a  mill  site,  somewhere  within  the  limits  of  the 
Holland  Purchase.  He  looked  over  the  minutes  of  surveys  and  maps 
of  the  Holland  Land  Company  with  Joseph  Ellicott,  and  without  hav- 
ing personally  visited  the  locality  he  determined  from  the  height  of 
the  adjiacent  hills  and  the  narrowness  of  the  chasms  through  which  a 
mill  stream  flowed,  where  it  was  intersected  bj'  one  of  the  lot  lines, 
that  lot  41  (now  Sinclairville) ,  in  the  4th  township  and  lltli 
range  of  the  Holland  Land  Company's  land  (now  Charlotte),  was 
the  location  desired,  and  accordingly  he  took  an  aiiiicle  of  the  whole 
of  lot  41,  consisting  of  360  acres  and  which  includes  the  principal 
part  of  the  village  of  Sinclairville,  and  also  all  of  lot  63,  in  the  town 
of  Gerry,  and  either  then  or  a  little  later  a  portion  of  lots  64  and  65 
in  Gerry,  and  all  of  lot  28  in  Charlotte,  in  all  1530  acres.  He 
agreed  to  pay  for  these  lands  at  the  rate  of  twenty  shillings  per  acre. 
He  then  returned  to  Madison  county. 

Upon  Mr.  Sinclair's  return  to  Madison  county  he  formed  a  partner- 
ship with  William  Berry  of  that  county  in  the  enterprise  of  settling 
and  building  mills  upon  the  lands  he  had  selected. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  year  1809  the  whole  population  of  Cha- 
tauqua  county  was  scarcely  two  thousand  sduls.  A  wilderness  covered 
its  entire  extent,  broken  only  by  the  improvements  that  the  few  settlers 
luid  made,  which  consisted  of  isolated  clearings,  each  generally  of  a 
few  acres  in  extent,  scattered  at  long  intervals  from  the  Cattaraugus 
creek  to  the  Pennsylvania  line,  and  nearly  all  of  them  within  four  or 
five  miles  of  the  shore  of  Lake  Erie.  Settlement  had  been  made  at 
Mayville,  and  a  few  settlers  had  established  themselves  upon  the  shores

of  Chatauqua  Lake,  and  along  Chatauqua  Outlet  and  Conewaugo 
creek.  The  streams  through  the  county  were  unbridged ;  the  roads 
were  but  wilderness  paths,  little  better  than  Indian  trails.  As 
yet  no  one  had  ventured  to  break  away  from  the  settlements  thii 
were  slowly  gathering  in  the  northern  and  more  acceptable  parts  o.'' 
tjie  county,  to  penetrate  into  the  woods  that  then  coveKd  its  interior. 
In  April,  1809,  was  commenced  a  small  settlement  south  of  the  ridge 
in  the  northwestern  part  of  the  town  of  Charlotte ;  and  one  a  little 
later  in  the  same  season  at  Charlotte  Centre. 

Mr.  Berry,  in  pursuance  of  the  arrangement  he  had  made  with 
Major  Sinclair,  came  to  Chatauqua  county  in  November  of  that 
year  and  pushed  four  miles  further  into  the  woods  south  of  the  Pick- 
ett settlement,  three  miles  beyond  Charlotte  Centre,  to  the  land 
selected  by  Mr.  Sinclair,  and  in  three  days  erected  the  body  of  a  log 
house ;  and  then  Berry,  the  same  fall,  returned  to  Madisun  county. 

Late  in  the  day  in  the  month  of  March,  1810,  Mr.  Sinclair,  and 
his  son  John,  and  his  hired  men,  and  William  Berry  and  his  wife, 
and  two  children,  arrived  at  the  Iq;  house  built  the  fall  before.  They 
shoveled  away  the  snow  from  a  large  birch  log  and  built  a  rousing 
Are  against  it.  They  then  constructed  a  wigwam,  and  placed  in  it 
and  over  it  plenty  of  hemlock  brush,  and,  notwithstanding  the  snow 
was  quite  deep,  passed  a  comfortable,  yet  novel,  night.  This  wig- 
wam they  occupied  for  two  days  and  nights  until  the  log  houses  were 
sufficiently  prepared  to  be  occupied.  The  house  was  the  first  built  in 
Sinclairville.  In  it  the  first  schools  and  first  religious  meeting  of 
the  town  were  held.  During  the  summer  Major  Sinclair  erected  a  saw- 
mill. He  then  returned  to  Madison  county.  Sept.  19,  1810,  Major 
Sinclair,  his  wife,  and  family,  consisting  in  all  of  ten  persons,  left 
Madison  for  Chatauqua  county.  The  family  and  their  goods  were  car- 
ried in  five  covered  wagons,  with  water  pails  and  tar  buckets  dang- 
ling from  their  axletrees.  They  passed  over  the  Cherry  Valley 
'turnpike,  a  leading  highway  of  travel  in  those  days.  They  crossed 
the  Cayuga  lake  in  a  feiTy-boat,  and  traveled  over  bad  roads  to 
Buffalo,  then  a  small  settlement  of  thirty  or  foity  houses  and  less 
than  two  hundred  inhabitants.  This  was  before  it  was  burned  by 
the  British.  From  Buffalo  they  followed  the  shore  of  the  lake  to 
Cattaraugus  creek,  passing  around  the  '* points"  or  capes  that  extend 
into  it.  They  arrived  at  Richard  William's  1(^  tavern  in  Canada- 
way,  now  Fredonia,  Oct.  10,  1810.  They  stopped  on  their  way  to 
measure,  the  great  walnut  tree  at  Silver  creek,  and  to  view  the  burn- 
ing springs  at  Fredonia.  At  Fredonia  the  family  remained  a  wi^k, 
until  a  woods  road  could  be  cut,  by  men  employed  by  Mr.  Sinclair, 
fifteen  miles  through  an  almost  unbroken  forest  to  Sinclairville. 
This  was  the  first  wagon  road  constructed  into  the  central  part  of 
the  county.  When  the  road  was  completed  the  family  resumed  its 
journey  and  arrived  at  Sinclairville  Oct.  22,  1810.  The  members  of 
his  family,  that  so  came  with  him  from  Madison,  consisted  of  his 
children,  Samuel,  David,  Joseph,  Sally,  and   Nancy  Sinclair;   his

second  wife,  Fanny,  and  her  first  children,  Obed,  John  M.,  and 
Fanny  Edson.  They  moved  into  the  log  house.  Three  or  four  weeks 
later  Mr.  Sinclair  moved  his  family  into  a  frame  house,  afterwards 
the  village  tavern,  that  he  caused  to  be  constructed  and  which  was 
then  just  completed.  These  two  bouses  and  the  sawmill,  which  Mr. 
Sinclair  built,  formed  the  nucleus  for  the  village,  and  were  all  the 
buildings  erected  that  year.  Major  Sinclair  and  his  family,  and  hired 
help,  consisting  of  twenty  persons,  remained  there  during  the  winter 
and  spring  of  1810  and  1811.  The  cows  and  oxen  that  Mr.  Sinclair 
brought  with  him  lived  during  that  winter  upon  the  twigs  and  the 
herbage  that  grew  in  the  adjacent  woods,  and  the  deer  broused  with 
them  along  the  borders  of  the  little  clearing  that  had  been  made. 
Mr.  BeiTy  had  dissolved  his  partnership  with  Mr.  Sinclaii-,  and 
returned  with  his  family,  in  the  fall  of  1810,  to  Madison  county. 

In  1811  Mr.  Sinclair  built  a  frame  gristmill.  That  year  the  4th 
of  July  was  duly  obser^'ed,  and  Mr.  Sinclair  entertained  all  the 
people  that  could  be  gathered  at  a  dinner  prepared  by  him.  So 
many  actual  settlera  had  taken  up  land  by  the  close  of  1811,  in  the 
central  part  of  the  county,  that  a  new  town  was  organized  on  the  Ist 
of  June,  1812.  It  was  twelve  miles  square,  and  composed  of  four 
of  the  present  towns  of  the  county,  including  the  town  of  Charlotte. 
At  a  meeting  held  at  the  house  of  Othellow  Churoh  for  the  purpose 
of  giWrg  it  a  name  many  f avoi-ed  calling  it  Sinclair,  after  Major  Sin- 
clair, bu*,  it  was  finally  decided  to  name  it  Grerry,  after  Elbridge 
Gerry,  who  was  that  fall  elected  Vice-President  of  the  United  States. 
At  the  first  town-meeting  of  his  town,  held  in  April,  1813,  Mr.  Sin- 
clair was  elected  its  first  supervisor.  He  was  subsequently  repeat- 
edly elected,  and  served  in  all  six  terms  as  supervisor  of  the  old 
town  of  Grerry. 

After  its  first  settlement,  and  until  the  last  war  with  England,  Sin- 
dairville and  the  adjacent  country  rapidly  increased  in  population. 
During  the  war  it  steadily  decreased.  A  few  settlers  came  but  more 
went  away ;  some  on  account  of  apprehended  danger  from  the  Indi- 
ans, and  others  to  go  onto  the  lines  as  soldiere  and  camp-followers. 
The  return  of  peace  did  not  bring  prosperity  or  increase  of  the  popu- 
lation. The  progress  of  the  settlement  was  slow  until  the  completion 
of  the  Erie  canal,  in  1825,  when  business  revived,  and  the  popu- 
lation again  rapidly  increased.  During  all  these  years,  until  his 
death  in  1827,  Major  Sinclair  was  the  leading  and  most  influential 
citizen  of  the  cential  part  of  the  county.  He  brought  with  him 
$6000  or  17000,  a  very  large  sum  for  that  early  day,  which  he 
expended  in  erecting  mills  and  dwellings,  and  laying  the  foundation 
of  the  village  whiph  he  had  commenced.  He  was  active  in  furthering 
the  settlement  of  this  part  of  the  county.  He  drew  hither  many 
strangers  and  assisted  them  in  selecting  locations,  erecting  log 
houses,  and  starting  them  in  their  new  homes.  He  possessed  great 
physical  strength  and  resolution,  and  was  a  natural  leader  among  his 
fellow  men.      His  integrity  and  sense  of  justice,  bis  good  judgment

and  experience  in  frontier  life,  made  tiim  a  much  respected  and  inflU' 
ential  citizen  in  his  part  of  the  county. 

Judge  James  Prendergast  was  in  those  days  the  leading  citizen 
in  the  soutJi  part  of  the  county.  Major  Sinclair  became  the  founder 
of  Sinclairnile  about  the  same  time  that  Judge  Prendergast  founded 
Jamestown.  They  often  served  upon  the  board  of  supervisors 
together,  and  were  personal  as  well  as  political  friends. 

The  settlement  of  Sinclairville  was  commenced  a  little  before  that 
of  Jamestown.  The  former  in  the  early  spring,  and  the  latter  in  the 
fall  of  1810.  Sinclairville  continued  thereafter  to  be  the  principal 
settlement  between  Jamestown  and  Fredonia  and  in  the  central  part  of 
the  county,  and  Mr.  Sinclair  until  bis  death  was  its  principal  ci|;izen. 
It  was  designated  in  the  life  time  of  Mr.  Sinclair  as  the  *'  Major's" 
or  ''  Major  Sinclair's."  At  his  decease  in  1827,  by  common  consent, 
it  began  to  be  called  Sinclairville. 

Lapse  of  years  did  not  efface  the  memories  of  the  war  of  Independ- 
ence and  of  his  experience  as  a  youthful  soldier,  yet  Major  Sinclair 
had  few  words  for  his  own  achievement.  He  had  great  contempt  for 
one  that  would  boast  of  his  own  exploits.'  He  took  pleasure, 
however,  to  have  his  comrades,  the  soldiers  of  the  Revolution,  of 
whom  there  remained  quite  a  number,  visit  him  at  his  tavern, 
where  they  often  gathered  to  relate  their  experience  and  recount 
their  adventures. 

LaFayette,  in  his  tour  through  the  United  States,  passed  through 
Chautauqua  county,  and  arrived  at  Fredonia  June  4th,  1825,  where  the 
people  had  gathered  in  great  numbers  to  welcome  and  honor  him. 
His  aiTival  was  at  night,  and  the  village  was  brilliantly  illuminated. 
He  sat  down  to  an  entertainment  prepared  with  much  taste  for  a 
frontier  village.  He  first  received  the  ladies  and  citizens,  and  finally 
the  soldiers  of  the  Revolution.  After  remaining  several  hours  at 
Fredonia  he  was  escorted  by  the  military,  and  followed  by  a  large 
concourse  of  ladies  and  citizens  in  carriages  and  on  horseback,  to 
Dunkirk,  where  he  embarked  amid  firing  of  cannon  and  other  dem- 
onstrations upon  the  steam  barge  Superior,  for  Buffalo.  The  Revo- 
lutionary soldiers  in  considerable  numbers  came  to  greet  him. 
Among  their  number  was  Major  Sinclair,  who  filled  an  important 
part  on  that  occasion. 

Mr.  Sinclair  was  made  a  Master  Mason  in  Madison  county  about 
the  year  1805  or  1806,  and  subsequently  a  Royal  Arch  Mason.  The 
lodge  of  which  he  was  a  member  was  held  at  his  inn  in  Madison, 
county  village.  It  is  related  that  in  April,  1807,  Hitchcock  who  was  a 
Master  Mason,  and  a  member  of  that  Icidge,  murdered  his  wife  by 
poison.  That  she  was  buried  before  the  fact  was  known.  That  at 
the  urgent  request  of  Major  Sinclair  a  committee  was  appointed  by 
the  lodge  for  the  purpose  of  thoroughly  investigating  the  grounds  for 
the  suspicion  that  began  to  exist  against  him.  The  vigilance  of  the 
lodge  resulted  in  the  arrest  of  Hitchcock,  his  trial,  conviction,  and 
execution.

In  1823  Sylvan  lodge  of  Sinclairvilie  was  organized  with  Major 
Sinclair  as  \t»  Master.  He  was  succeded  by  James  Scbotfleld,  the 
grandfather  of  Lt.-Gen.  John  McAllister  SchofHeld,  whose  birthplace 
was  within  a  few  rods  of  the  corporation  boundary  of  the  village. 

By  reason  of  the  Anti-Masonic  feeling  existing  in  western  New  York, 
the  lodge  in  a  few  years  was  compelled  to  surrender  its  chatter.  Major 
Sinclair  died  Feb.  8,  1827,  and  was  buried  with  Masonic  honors. 
All  the  members  of  the  order  there,  and  many  leading  members  from 
abroad,  were  present  at  his  burial,  notwithstanding  this  occurred 
whan  the  excitement  against  Masonry  was  at  its  height,  the  esteem 
for  Major  Sinclair  was  such,  and  the  ceremonies  were  so  conducted, 
as  to  cause  them  to  be  well  received,  and  to  leave  a  favorable  impres- 
sion upon  those  present.  Respect  for  Major  Sinclair  drew  many  to 
the  funeral.  He  was  buried  upon  ground  which  he  had  himself  donat- 
ed to  the  public  for  burial  purposes,  and  which  afterwai-ds  grew  into 
a  most  beautiful  cemetery.  His  grave  there  occupies  a  conspicuous 
place,  and  is  marked  by  a  headstone  cut  from  the  native  stone  of  the 
county,  appropriately  and  gracefully  carved  and  lettered.  v 

Major  Sinclair  was  described  by  a  citizen  of  an  adjoin  ig  town, 
who  knew  him  well,  as  having  a  commanding  presence,  being  six. 
feet  high,  with  a  well  balanced  head,  black  hair  and  eyes,  a  well 
formed  nose,  a  round  chin,  full  lips,  and  a  mouth  of  medium  size, 
weight  about  225  pounds.  His  voice  was  full  and  loud  and  when  he 
spoke  always  commanded  attention.  His  utterance  was  rapid,  but 
always  to  the  purpose.  His  face  was  fair  and  full,  and  in  the  prime 
of  life  he  was  a  perfect  man  in  form  and  feature.  He  possessed 
graat  strength  and  resolution,  and  was  a  natural  leader  among  his 
fellows.  He  was  one  of  nature's  noblemen  and  his  children,  both  by 
his  fii^t  wife  and  the' second,  inherited  largely  of  his  physical,  moral, 
and  mental  qualities.  In  politics  Major  Sinclair  was  a  Federalist. 
He  was  a  Revolutionary  pensioner.  His  long  familiarity  and  rough 
experience  in  frontier  life,  his  integrity  and  sound  ju(^ment,  made

who  wag,  by  her  2d  mairiage,  tlie  mother  of  seven  children.  She 
died  at  Kinclairville,  N.  Y.,  Jan.  12,  1H52.  He  died  tliere  Feb.  K, 
1H27.  Hit)  funeral  was  attended  by  almost  the  entire  population,  for 
the  town  had  lost  its  most  respected  citizen.  The  exercises  were 
conducted  accoi-ding  to  the  Masonic  ritual.  Sixty  years  have  passed 
away  since  the  dei.th  of  Major  Sinclair,  yet  his  memory  is  held  in 
much  respect  and  the  incidents  of  his  life  and  the  circumstances  of 
the  settlement  he  founded  arc  fresh  in  the  memories  of  the  people. 
In  the  charming  village  of  Sinclairville,  on  an  elevated  plateau,  is 
the  Kvergreen  cemetery.  The  protecting  hills  surround  it,  adbwn  a 
sharp,  steep  wooded  decli'.ity  of  more  than  a  hundred  feet,  at  one  of 
its  sides,  a  river  rushes  madly  along,  and  its  turbulent  waters  chant 
continually  the  requiem  of  the  dead.  In  that  cemetery,  in  a  well 
marked  and  conspicuous  place,  is  the  grave  of  Maj.  Samuel  Sinclair. 
There  the  patriotic  soldier,  hardy  pioneer,  faithful  and  public  spirited 
citizen  rests  till  the  great  awakening. 

Kngraved  upon  the  top  of  his  tombstone  is  the  open  Bible,  with 
the  square  and  compass  and  other  Masonic  emblems,  and  beneath  is 
this  inscription ; 

"  How  ]ov*d,  how  vala'd  once  avails  thee  not, 

To  whom  related,  or  by  whom  begot ; 

A  heap  of  Dust  alone  remains  of  thee, 

'T  la  all  thou  art,  and  all  the  proud  shall  be." 

lution.  She  was  born  at  Colchester,  Conn.,  April  7, 1777,  and  died  in  Sin- 
clairville, Jan.  12,  1852.  She  married  Obed  Edson  in  Otsego  oo.,  N.  Y. 
He  was  a  descendant  of  the  fifth  generation  of  Samuel  Edson,  who  was 
born  In  England  in  1U12,  came  to  Salem,  Mass.,  In  1638  ot  1639,  and  after- 
wards became  an  original  proprietor  and  first  settler  of  Bridgewater, 
Plyinouth  co.,  Mass.    Obed  Edson  died  in  Eaton,  Madison  co.,  N.  Y.,  1804. 

The  children  of  Gbcd  and  Fanny  Edson  were : 

(1.)  Obed,  who  was  born  in  Otsego  co.,  N.  Y.,  Sept.  11, 1796,  wis  a 
member  of  the  legislature  of  Pa. ;  a  canal  receiver  at  Johnstown,  Pa. ;  at 
one  time  a  Judge  of  Warren  co.,  Pa.,  and  later  of  Pulaski  co.,  111.  He 
died  at  Villa  Bridge,  III.,  Sept.  9, 1877. 

(2.)  John  M.  Edson,  who  was  bom  at  Eaton,  X.  Y.,  July  30,  1801, 
came  with  the  family  of  Major  SInchiir  to  Sinclairville,  IT.  V.,  in  1810. 
He  was  prominent  among  the  early  settlers  of  that  locality.  He  became  a 
Judge,  and  held  other  prominent  public  positions,  and  was  until  his  decease 
a  leading  and  much  respected  citizen  of  Chautauqua  county.  His  rela- 
tionship and  Intimate  acquaintance  with  Major  Sinclair  made  him  familiar 
with  his  history.  From  hiai  the  principal  facts  of  Mr.  Sinclair's  life  have 
been  obtained.    Mr.  Edson  died  In  Sinolairville,  Aug.  21, 1885. 

Hon.  Obed  Edson  of  Sinclairville  is  his  son.  Mr.  Edson  was  born  Sin- 
clairville, Feb.  18, 1832 ;  admitted  to  the  bar  April  8, 18S3.  -  He  Is  a  prominent 
lawyer ;  was  a  meml)er  of  the  Assembly  of  New  York  in  1874,  and  is  a  highly 
respected  citizen.  He  is  greatly  interested  in  antiquarian  researches;  has 
prepared  valuable  historical  matter  for  the  press,  and  It  is  to  him  that  I 
am  greatly  indebted  for  much  of  the  valuable  history  of  Major  Samuel 
Sinclair  and  his  descendants.  He  married  May  11, 1850,  Emily  A,  daughter 
of  Hon.  C.  J.  Allen,  at  one  time  mayor  of  New  London,  Conn. ;  she  was

He  was  born  in  Gilmanton,  N.  H.,  Jan.  13,  1763.  Went  to 
Barnstead,  in  the  same  state,  with  his  parents  when  four  years  of 
age.  On  March  11,  1788,  he  received  a  deed  of  a  one-hundred  acre 
lot  with  a  sawmill,  it  being  lot  98,  2d  division,  from  his  father,  "in 
consideration  of  love  and  gooti  will  that  I  bear  to  him."  He  sold  one- 
eighth  part  of  Sinclair's  sawmill  in  Barnstead  October,  1791.  Barn- 
stead  was  his  home  in  1792.  During  this  time  he  had  temporarily 
been  a  resident  of  Maine,  and  was  probably  associated  in  business 
at  Vassalboro'  with  his  brother,  Maj.  Samuel  Sinclair,  later  of 
SinclairviUe,  N.  Y.  He  married  May  13,  1785,  Abigail  Clark,  bora 
in  Hallowell,  Me.,  July  31,  1768.  At  the  age  of  thirty  years,  in 
1793,  he  located  in  Danville,  Vt.,  then  a  comparatively  new  place, 
and  where  others  of  his  family  also  lived.  By  trade  he  was  a  ship- 
builder and  millwright,  and  so  was  drawn  to  new  settlements  where 
mills  were  to  be  erected  and  operated  and  lumber  made  suitable  for 
human  use.  In  Danville,  Vt.,  he  lived  till  about  1799,  when  he  lived 
at  Black  River,  Jefferson  co.,  N.  Y.,  which  is  south  of  Utica  and

432.  David  Sinclaii-*  [128]  (Col.  Richartl*,  Samuel*,  John*, 
.)ohn>).  He  wa8  born  at  Barnatead,  N.  H.,  Jan.  8,  1770.  Hitt 
early  yeara  were  spent  in  UarnHtead  and  vicinity,  then  be  followed 
relatives  to  Vermont  and  located  in  Danville,  March  4,  1706,  where 
he  lived  till  about  1816,  when  he  moved  to  the  state  of  New  York. 
HemovedtoI.«roy,  (ienesee  co.,  N.  Y.,  in  1816,  resided  there  a  year 
and  a  half  and  located  in  Perry,  Lake  co.,  Ohio,  in  1818,  where  he 
^uded  his  days.  He  once  started  to  visit  his  brother,  MaJ.  Samuel 
Sinclair,  at  SinclairviUe,  N.  Y.,  aud  went  as  far  as  Westfield,  when 
the  wildnesB  of  the  country  impressed  him  so  unfavorably  that  he 
turned  about  in  disgust  and  went  in  another  direction  saying  that 
''  Samuel  would  starve  to  death  in  such  a  detestable  country."  It 
was  theu  a  dense  wilderness,  heavily  wooded,  with  no  openings  save 
Indian  trails,  an  occasional  road,  and  the  rushing  rivers  which  flowed 
through  the  primeval  forests. 

After  locating  in  Perry,  Ohio,  he  kept  a  hotel,  and  owned  a  large 
fann.  He  was  a  fine  marksman,  a  great  hunter,  kept  hounds,  and 
many  were  the  deer  that  he  successfully  hunted.  When  above  eighty 
years  of  age  he  would  follow  a  fox  all  day,  aud  usually  with  success. 
In  persoual  appearance  he  was  a  tall,  large,  bony,  and  muscular  man, 
and  of  great  strength,  resolution,  and  fortitude.  He  was  prompt 
in  busiuess  and  honorable  in  his  dealings  with  his  fellows,  and  blunt 
and  brusque  in  his  manners.  His  death  occurred  in  Perry,  Ohio., 
May  20,  18.58,  aged  83  yrs.,  and  he  is  buried  in  the  attractive  ceme- 
tery in  thYit  town. 

His  wife  was  Sally  Batchelder  of  Barnstea(^  N.  H.,  wheie  she  was 
born  March  12,  1775.  They  lived  in  Barnstead  till  1794,  and  they 
were  married  in  that  town  Feb.  5,  1795.  Mrs.  Sinclair  was  an 
excellent  woman,  a  member  of  the  chui'ch,  and  performed  with  fidel- 
ity the  duties  of  her  life.  She  died  in  Perry,  Sept.  27,  1849,  aged 
75  yrs.

books,  and  a  retentive  memory,  and  became  conversant  with  every 
volume  in  tlie  district  and  town  libraries  to  which  he  had  access, 
and  ancient  and  modern  history  found  in  him  an  apt  student. 

It  was  a  Presbyterian  commnnity  and  the  catechism  was  early 
committed  to  memory,  and  the  Sabbath  was  observed  with  great 
rigidity.  If  a  person  was  absent  from  church,  the  sharp  nosed  dea- 
con usually  called  upon  the  delinquent  on  Monday  morning,  and  if 
aught  but  sickness  occasioned  his  absence  a  severe  reprimand  was 
given,  and  a  promise  required  that  the  offence  would  not  be  repeated. 

His  twenty-tirst  birthday  came  at  length,  and  donning  his  "  free- 
dom suit",  and  taking  the  usual  one  hundred  dollars,  he  and  his 
brother  Asa  started  for  the  then  West.  Stopping  only  a  short  time  at 
Sackett's  Harbor,  he  then  went  to  Concord,  Erie  co.,  N.  Y.,  pur- 
chased a  farm,  upon  which  he  worked  in  the  summer  seasons,  and 
taught  school  in  the  winters.  He  then  became  a  blacksmith.  Mean- 
while, on  the  9th  of  December,  1816,  he  married  Huldah  Townsend, 
wiio  was  born  in  New  Salem,  Mass.,  Dec.  15,  1797*. 

With  her  he  set  sail  upon  the  sometime  uncertain  sea  of  matrimo- 
nial life,  but  a  prosperous  voyage  awaited  them.  There  their  children 
were  born  and  all  were  educated  for  teachers.  After  a  thirty-three 
years'  residence  in  New  York  he  was  struck  with  the  western  fever 
and  again  emigrated,  this  time  to  Hartland,  McHenry  co..  111.,  and 
employed  himself  as  a  farmer  a?id  mechanic,  where  he  lived  eighteen 
years,  also  in  itevere,  Iowa.  In  1863,  being  no  longer  able  to  per- 
form any  kind  of  labor,  and  wishing  to  be  with  his  only  son,  he 
joined  him  at  Hampton,  Franklin  co.,  Iowa,  where  he  died  ten  years 
later,  April  3,  1873,  and  is  resting  in  the  pleasant  cemetery  in  that 
town.  He  was  always  deeply  interested  in  national  affairs,  was  a 
Whig,  and  then  a  Republican  in  politics.  Mrt.  Sinclair  lived  in 
New  Salem,  Mass.,  till  she  was  fifteen  years  of  age,  when  she  accom- 
panied her  parents  to  Erie  co.,  N.  Y.  After  her  marriage  her  inter- 
ests were  always  in  her  home,  and  she  was  ever  faithful  to  her  duty. 
In  every  cloud  which  darkened  her  pathway  she  looked  for  the  "sil- 
ver lining."  She  has  outlived  the  most  of  her  kindred,  and  at  the 
age  of  ninety-on6  is  in  good  health,  well  preserved,  and,  in  full  pos- 
session of  her  mental  powere,  she  bids  fair  to  be  a  centenarian. 
For  the  most  of  her  life  she  has  been  a  member  of  the  Baptist  church, 
and  religion  has  brightened  all  the  way.

JAMES  ST,  CLAIR,   OF  UNION,  ME. 


[496 


in  Thomastou,  Warren,  and  Union,  Me.  His  brother  Imd  settled  in 
Freedom,  and  Mr.  St.  Clair  bought  96  acres  of  wild  land  in  Union, 
Me.,  some  twenty  miles  east  of  his  brother's  home.  He  built  a  loj? 
house  some  forty  rods  distant  from  the  framed  honse  which  stood,  in 
1889,  upon  the  old  homestead,  and  which  is  occupied  by  Mrs.  ErastUH 
St.  Clair.  His  tenement  stood  on  the  sloping  side  of  a  hill  near  its 
.^uu.....!,,  aui.  uw  Duuu  iiau  M  ncn  uiieu  itti'ui.  iue  lunu  was  good  and 
brought  forth  abundant  hancsts,  and  prosperity  attended  the  early 
settler.  The  scenery  from  his  abode  was  fine  indeed.  On  the  east 
were  the  sharp  jutting  outlines  of  Ragget  mountain ;  in  the  southeast 
was  Pleasant  mountain ;  Meadow  mountain  in  the  south ;  Crawford's 
Pond,  in  the  southwest,  lay  shimmering  in  the  sunlight ;  while  in  the 
west,  sections  of  Montville  and  Appletou  were  plainly  visible. 

He  cleared  his  land  from  the  wilderness  and  wild  beasts  were 
numerous.  Mrs.  St.  Clair  often  frightened  the  bears  from  the  field 
as  they  were  breaking  down  the  corn.  They  often  prowled  about 
the  house  and  made  raids  upon  the  pens  which  protected  their  hogs. 
He  and  )\i»  wife  wera  devoted  christians,  members  of  the  Baptist 
church,  imd  attended  church  at  East  Union.  "The  St.  Clair  path," 
which  nicaadere  over  the  hill,  still  marks  the  way  they  trod  in  going 
to  ihe  house  of  ^t'orship. 

He  married  Kally  Wiggin  of  Stratham,  N.  H.,  a  sister  of  George 
Wiggin  of  that  town.  She  was  bom  there  Sept.  18,  1778,  and  died 
Jan.  5,  1868,  aged  90  years.  He  died  in  South  Thomaston,  Me., 
June  25,  1858.

James",  John*).  He  was  born  in  Meredith,  N.  H.,  Dec.  27,  1778. 
With  hia  brother  he  early  went  to  Heaver  Hill  Plantation,  aftenrard 
Freedom,  Me.  Was  there  in  1806,  and  his  name  is  attired  to  the 
town  records  in  1813,  and  there  his  family  names  are  recorded.  He 
resided  in  that  towii  until  the  spring  of  1824,  when  he  removed  to 
Dover,  Me.,  going  there  upon  horseback.  Dover  was  at  that  time  a 
wilderness.  Mr.  Sinclair  at  first  lived  in  a  log  hut,  and  cleared  his 
farm  from  its  primeval  state.  He  was  a  man  of  high  character,  a 
consistent  and  influential  member  of  the  Calvinist  Baptist  church.  In 
politics  he  was  a  Whig.  He  married  his  own  cousin,  Polly  Robinson, 
whose  mother  was  a  Miss  Mead,  a  sister  to  his  own  mother.  He  died 
in  Dover,  Me.,  July  3,  1844.  Mrs.  Sinclair  was  in  many  respects  a 
remarkable  person.  In  stature  she  was  small,  with  black  eyes ;  was 
very  active,  and  had  large  executive  ability,  and  was  a  good  business 
manager.  She  was  left  with  »  lai-ge  farm,  and  a  large  family  depend- 
ent upon  her.  Four  of  her  children  became  cripples  as  they  arrived 
at  maturity,  and  some  of  them  became  entirely  helpless  and  con- 
tinued BO  for  more  than  twenty-flve  years.  They  never  complained, 
and,  though  entirely  dependent,  yet  the  light  from  a  brighter  shore 
illuminated  the  darkness  of  their  way.  They  were  devoted  chris- 
tians and  looked  forward  to  an  entrance  to  that  land 

''  Where  the  inhabitants  never  of  sickness  complain, 
And  never  know  death  any  more." 

They  were  well  educated ;  were  teachers ;  and  one  was  a  preacher. 

Mrs.  Sinclair,  with  true  heroism,  bore  her  heavy  burdens  till  at 
length  her  slender  frame  gave  way  and  they  bore  her  to  her  rest. 
She  died  April  22,  1853.  She  was  born  in  Meredith,  N.  H.,  Dec. 
27,1 786.  After  this  event,  so  sad  to  her  family,  their  house  took 
tire  and,  with  its  contents,  was  entirely  consumed,  the  members  of 
tiie  family  barely  escaping  with  their  lives.  The  eldest  daughter, 
Hannah,  who  was  helpless,  saw  the  fire  kindling  over  her  head  but 
was  unable  to  arouse  the  family.  When  discovered  the  clothes  of 
her  bed  were  afire  and  she  was  barely  saved  from  a  horrible  death.

525>.  Joseph  Sinclair*  [147]  (Tliomas*,  Thomas*,  Josepli*,  James^ 
.Iohn>).  He  was  bom  In  Meredith,  N.  H.,  Sept.  17,  17.H.'}.  In  |x;r- 
Honal  appearance  he  was  tall  and  commanding,  and  his  countenance 
had  a  decidedly  intellectual  cast.  His  heiglit  was  six  feet  and  an 
inch ;  his  weight  mo  lbs.  By  nature  generous,  he  was  ){ind  in  his 
treatment  of  all.  Was  a  careful  and  successful  busiuess  manager 
and  increased  steadily  in  property. 

Was  a  farmer,  but  had  good  mechanical  abilities  and  with  his  own 
liands  manufactured  all  the  carts,  wagons,  and  sucit  wooden  machin- 
ery as  was  used  upon  his  farm. 

He  was  a  great  reader,  tteing  well  informed  upon  general  topics, 
and  quite  decidtd  in  his  convictions.  In  politics  he  was  a  Jacksoniau 
Democrat,  but  in  the  latter  part  of  his  life  was  inclined  to  Abolition- 
ism. This  was  when  slavery  was  casting  its  baleful  influence  over 
the  Republic,  and  the  slave-power  had  become  dominant  and  domin- 
eering. 

He  was  a  religious  man  and  contributed  generously  to  sustain  the 
institutions  of  religion.  His  family  were  weK  cared  for;  his  chil- 
dren taught  the  proper  way  in  which  to  walk  life's  pathway.  In  his 
family  the  Scriptures  were  daily  read,  and  prayers  were  daily  of- 
fereii. 

There  was  a  sparkle  of  genuine  wit  about  him,  and  he  was  mii'th- 
ful  and  loved  a  joke.     This  anecdote  is  related  of  him : 

He  was  accustomed  to  take  his  farm  products  to  the  city  to  sell. 
Once,  while  returning  in  mid-winter,  when  the  fierce  winds  of  this 
New  England  season  had  blown  the  snow  into  great  drifts,  making 
the  roads  almost  impassible,  as  he  was  ascending  a  steep  hill  in 
plain  view  of  a  house,  the  owner  thereof  started  into  the  road  with 
two  pairs  of  cattle,  met  him  in  the  dinfts,  and  desired  him  to  ''get 
out."  "  I  can't,"  said  Sinclair.  "  Why  did  you  come  when  you  saw 
me  iu  the  drifts?"  Then  straightening  his  tall  and  massive  form  up 
to  its  full  height,  and  assuming  a  threatening  aspect,  and  in  a  tone 
of  voice  which  fortified  his  personal  appearance,  said,  ''Now,  Sir,  if 
you  don't  '  get  out '  I  will  sei-ve  you  as  I  did  the  other  man  back 
here ! "  The  man  saw  that  Sinclair  was  not  to  be  trifled  with  and 
made  great  haste  to  get  his  team  into  the  deep  snow,  and  passed 
him,  but  shouted  back,  "How  did  you  treat  the  other  man?"  "I 
'got  out'  for  him,"  said  Sinclair. 

He  man-ied  March  27,  1805,  Isabel,  daughter  «f  John  Dockraan 
of  Mei*edith  Neck.  She  was  born  at  the  Parade,  in  Mereditl\,  Sept. 
21,  1780.  She  was  one  eminently  fitted  to  adorn  his  home,  brighten 
his  life,  and  bear  her  part  in  all  its  Wcissitndes  and  her  portion  of 
its  burdens.  Was  very  practical.  She  was  a  great  weaver  and 
wove  the  nicest  table  linen,  carpets,  and  fulled  cloth.     She  spun  and

wove  a  nioe  suit  of  dotliuH  for  one  of  her  sohh  when  lu'  wuh  21  yearn 
of  age.  She  nearly  paid  for  fifty  aorcH  of  w(xxllaii<l,  which  her  huH- 
band  houglit  by  her  woaving.  She  was  hiH  true  helpmeet.  Never 
lUd  she  attend  school  but  seven  days.  She  was  self-tauglit,  had  u 
strong  mind,  and  a  retentive  niemory.  She  was  an  excellent  singer 
and  a  great  rrnder.  (ireat  was  her  knowledge  of  the  Bible,  and 
large  portions  could  she  repeat.  I'loblcms  in  partial  payments  she 
would  solve  quickly  and  contctly  in  her  mind.  In  early  life  she 
committed  to  memory  a  hymn  of  seventy-two  verses  of  four  lines 
each,  which  she  could  repeat  when  in  her  ninety-fifth  year.  She  was 
totally  blind  for  fifteen  years  previous  to  her  death.  At  an  early  age 
she  became  a  christian  an<l  was  u  bright  and  shining  light  in  the 
church.  "Her  whole  trust  was  in  Christ,  whom  she  was  anxioua  to 
go  and  see."  She  died  Feb.  1.3,  1M7«,  aged  97  yrs.  4  mos.  and  28 
days. 

Mr.  Sinclair  died  of  lung  fever  March  2,  1847,  aged  61  yrs.  4 
mos.  27  days.  Their  home  was  in  Meredith,  N.  H.,  on  the  home-

was  with  his  parents  in  tlieir  homes  at  Haitlwick  and  Wolcott,  Vt., 
at  Russelltown,  Canada.  He  Hed  with  tliem  at  tiie  outbreak  of  the 
1812-'!;)  war,  to  the  state  of  New  York,  as  lie  would  not  tight  against 
his  native  country.  While  in  Canada  lie  married  Marcii  17,  1811,

were  married  by  the  Episcopal  service  and  clergyman.  For  a  while 
they  lived  in  Peru,  N.  Y.  Before  tiiey  permanently  located 
they  visited  friends  in  Vermont,  crassing  Lake  Champlaiu  on 
the  ice.  On  their  return  the  ice  was  breaking  up,  great  fissures 
were  there,  through  which,  as  they  traveled^  the  water  would  bui-st

their  strong  horses  would  leap  drawing  the  sleigh  after  them,  till 
at  length  they  reached  the  shore.     Mrs.  St.  Clair  never  forgot  that

his  father  ujion  the  homestead ;  was  very  genial  in  his  nature,  fond 
of  society,  and  generally  liked.  Was  a  colonel  in  the  3d  regiment 
in  the  state  militia.  Was  a  Universalist  iu  his  religious  faith,  and 
a  Democrat  in  politics.  On  March  16,  1839,  he  sold  his  farm  to  his 
brother-in-law,  John  Fletcher,  and  removed  to  Loudou,  N.  H.,  and 
bought  a  sawmill,  iu  which  he  did  business  a  few  years.  Like  many 
of  his  race  since  his  fli-st  American  ancestor  located  in  Exeter,  he 
could  not  be  happy  unless  he  could  hear  the  buzz  and  rattle  of  saws 
and  machinery,  and  see  the  stalwart  trees  couverted  into  marketable 
lumber.  Milling  business  seems  to  have  become  a  second  nature  of 
the  Sinclairs,  it  seems  to  have  run  in  the  blood  of  the  different 
branches  of  the  family.  After  leaving  Loudon  Mr.  St.  Clair  lived 
in  Springfield  and  East  Concord,  and  finally  settled  in  Richmond. 
N.  H.,  where  he  died  June  15,  1874.  He  married  Sept.  1,  1834, 
Martha  Maxfield,  of  Loudon,  an  excellent  wonian,  kind  to  all  in 
sickness  or  in  health,  who  died  at  Richmond,  N.  H.,  May  24,  1883. 
She  was  boi-n  in  London,  N.  H.,  Jan.  7,  1815.

John').  He  settled  in  Haverhill,  N.  H. ;  was  a  blacksmith,  and 
learned  his  trade  with  Paul  Bunker  of  Sandwicli,  N.  H.  He  was  a 
restless  youth  and  one  Sabbath  while  Mr.  Bunker  and  his  family  were 
}jone  to  chui-ch  he  and  another  boy  went  to  the  shop,  made  the  shoes, 
took  a  pair  of  calves,  not  a  year  old,  threw  them  upon  their  backs 
and  shod  them.  When  the  proprietor  returned  he  was  surprised  to 
Hnd  his  calves  walking  upon  the  glare  ice.  He  immediately  investi- 
gated  the  strange  phenomenon  and  found  that  it  was  due  to  the  pi-o- 
gressive  spirit  of  his  enteiprising,  ingenious,  and  Sabbath  desecrating 
apprentice*.  Mr.  Sinclair  was  thrice  married  and  his  wives  were 
daughters  of  Moses  Page,  named  respectively,  Nancy,  Betsey,  and 
Polly  Page.  He  was  published  to  Nancy  Page  June  27,  1814. 
When  he  married  the  last  named  her  father  said,  "John  Sinclair,  you 
have  married  a  wife  now  who  will  see  your  head  cold."  This  eccen- 
tric remark  proved  to  be  a  true  one,  as  Mi-s.  Sinclair  sur>'ived  her 
husband.  He  was  liom  in  Sandwich,  N.  H.  No  information  of 
childreu  has  been  received,  and  probably  he  had  none.

vet  the  okl  men  of  Barnstead  still  recount  his  exploits  in  subduing 
Vicious  and  unmanageable  steeds.  He  was  an  expert  accountant  and 
considered  authority  among  his  townsmen  in  drafting  contracts  and 

other  legal  papers.  ,.   ,     , 

Notwithstanding   his  robust  physique,  he   died  of   consumption, 
July  18,  1834,  at  the  early  age  of  foity-one  years,  his  disease  being 
caused,  in  the  opinion  of  his  physicians,  by  the  wound  received  m  the 
sen-ice  of  his  country.     He  mamed   .Ian.  20,    1825,    Martha  G., 
daughter  of  Joseph  and  Hannah  (GiU's)  Norris  of  Barnstead,  who 
was  born  tliere  Wednesday,  Sept.  12,  17U8.    (See  Norris  family. )  She 
was  of  the  l)est  type  of  American  womanhood.    At  the  age  of  thirty-six 
years  she  was  left  a  widow  in  destitute  circumstances.     The  long  ill- 
ness of  her  husband,  and  two  unfortunate  suits  at  law  in  which  he 
was  involved,  and  which  at  his  death  were  undecided,  had  used  up 
their  slender  fortune,  and  though  through  the  efforts  of  Hon.  James 
Bell  thtn  a  young  lawyer,  these  suits  were  won,  the  bankruptcy  of 
the  defendants  made  the  victories  barren  of  lieneticial  results,  so  that 
Mrs  Sinclair  was  left  with  but  seventy  dollars  in  money,  and  a  small 
amount  ot  household   furniture,  as  the   worldly  substance  for  the 
maintenance  of  herself  and  her  son,  John  ft.    Sinclair,  then  eight 

years  of  age. 

*  To  that  boy  and  the  sei-vice  of  ftotl  she  devoted  the  remainder  ot 
lier  life  With  her  needle  she  earned  their  daily  bread,  and  kept  her 
son  at  school.  A  devoted  Christian,  with  an  unblemished  life,  she 
became  a  meml.er  of  the  Congregational  church  at  Barnstead,  then 
under  the  ministrations  of  that  venerable,  good  old  man.  Rev.  hnos 
(leorge,  who  had  taught  tlie  alphabet  to  her  and  her  son.  On  remov- 
ing to  Bethlehem  she  united  with  the  Methodist  church,  a  member 
of  which  she  was  at  her  death,  February,  1880. 

At  her  death  she  was  81  years  of  age.  Until  1847  her  home  was 
also  the  home  of  her  son :  then  he  married  and  established  a  home  of 
his  own  of  which  she  became  a  member,  and  remained  as  such  till  the 
November  preceding  her  death,  when  temporarily  she  went  into  the 
home  of  Rev.-Charies  J.  Fowler,  who  had  married  her  eldest  grand- 
daughter. While  there,  during  the  absence  of  her  son  in  Florida, 
she  died,  surrounded  by  his  children.

I, )  f 


:i 


ford,  Conn. ;  was  educated  at  Fredonia  academy,  and  later  became  a 
physician  and  surgeon.  He  practiced  his  profession  at  Ashville, 
Fredonia,  .lamestown,  Forestville,  and  Panama,  in  Chautauqua  co., 
N.  Y.  Me  conducted  for  several  years  a  sanitarium  at  Forestville. 
His  failure  of  health  led  him  to  abandon  his  profession  and  devote 
all  his  time  and  strength  to  liis  farm  in  Haimony  (P.  O.  address  Pan- 
ama), N.  Y'.  His  wife,  Mrs.  Orlinda  (Sinclair)  Parker,  was  more 
than  medium  in  stature,  of  graceful  and  agile  step,  and  when  young 
took  great  delight  in  the  amusement  of  dancing.  She  was  intensely 
sanguine  in  temperament;  her  complexion  was  florid,  and  the  tint  of 
the  rose  oft  was  upon  her  cheeks.  Her  eyes  were  dark,  and  hair  was 
jet  black  and 

'^     ...    to  shame  might  bring 
The  plumage  of  the  raven's  wing." 

Having  a  cheerful,  hopeful  disposition  she  shielded  with  the  mantle 
of  her  charity,  her  erring  fellow  mortals,  and  her  heart "  was  soft  with 
sympathy  for  all  her  sorrowing,  struggling,  sinful  race."  She  was 
reared  in  a  pioneer  settlement  and  her  advantages  for  education  were 
quite  limited,  yet  her  large  share  of  good  common  sense  (which  is  the 
best  kind  of  sense),  and  a  shrewd,  keen  knowledge  of  human  nature 
made  her  always  welcome  in  the  best  of  society.  After  her  father's 
death,  which  took  place  when  she  was  hardly  fourteen  years  of  age, 
she  soon  relied  upon  herself  for  success  and  a  livelihood.  She 
learned  the  trade  of  a  milliner,  which  she  successfully  followed  till 
her  marriage.  Early  in  life  her  mind  was  called  to  religious  subjects, 
and  she  sought  and  found  Christ,  who  was  the  foundation  of  uor 
hope  of  immortality  and  eternal  life.  This  hope  she  fondly  cherished, 
and  clung  to  with  unwavering  grasp  for  several  years  before  she 
made  a  public  profession  of  religion.  She  united  with  the  Baptist 
church,  which  she  aided  by  her  personal  effort,  and  by  pecuniary 
assistance. 

Her  residence  after  marriage  was  for  a  number  of  years  in  May- 
ville,  then  at  Ashville,  till  her  death.  But  few  are  blest  with  the 
vigor,  unbroken  health,  and  strong  constitution  which  Mrs.  F».rker 
possessed  until  the  winter  of  1849,  March  17.  Then  her  home  was 
'.  ,>8troyed  by  fire,  and  her  system  received  a  shock  from  which  she 
never  recovered.  Her  youngest  son  was  born  soon  after.  The 
strong,  vigorous,  athletic  form  gradually  wasted  away  in  the  space 
of  eighteen  months.  Her  decline  was  attended  with  gi-eat  bodily 
suffering  and  her  spirit  undci-went  painful  experiences,  as  she  felt  the 
relentless  hand  of  the  destroyer  upon  her  and  she  realized  that  she 
was  fading  away  from  her  dear  friends  and  family,  for  whom  she  so 
ardently  cared.  Shortly  previous  to  her  death,  she  summoned  her 
brother,  Hon.  J.  M.  Edson  of  Sinclairville,  and  spoke  to  him  sub- 
stantially as  follows  :  "  You  see  what  is  left  of  my  once  strong  and 
vigorous  frame.  In  the  prospect  of  what  is  so  near  at  hand,  1  have 
endeavored  to  set  my  house  in  order,  and  be  in  readiness  to  make  a 
journey  to  an  unseen  realm.  I  have  sent  for  you  to  offer  you  one  of 
the   brightest    and  most  precious  gems  of  my  heart,  my  youngest

nah accept  my  freewill  offering,  the  goo<l  Lord  may  so  handle  tliis 
matter  as  to  make  my  son  a  comfort  and  blessing  to  your  declining 
years."  The  offering  was  accepted.  Her  mind  became  settled  and 
tranquil  in  the  near  approach  of  death.  She  committed  her  dear 
family  and  all  she  held  dear  and  precious  on  eartli  to  her  loving 
Father's  care.  She  yielded  her  soul  to  her  Saviour,  in  whom  she  had 
trusted  for  so  many  yeai-s,  and  her  death  was  peaceful. 

She  died  at  Ashville,  N.  Y.,  Jan.  28,  1846,  and  is  buried  on  the 
east  side  of  the  village  cemetery.  Her  grave  is  marked  with  a  mar- 
ble slab,  engraved  with  an  appropriate  inscription.  She  was  tlie 
mother  of  five  sons,  to  whom  were  imparted  strong  constitutions  and 
good  mental  endowments.

were  built  during  the  great  Rebellion  and  were  gun  boats  tor  tlio 
national  service.  For  nine  winters  both  previous  and  subsequent  to 
the  war  he  was  in  Maryland  and  Virginia  in  manufacturing  ship  tim- 
ber for  the  northern  market,  and  was  also  at  different  times  in  various 
portions  of  Maine  in  the  same  avocation.  In  1870  he  purchased 
the  "  Mt.  Pleasant  Farm"  in  Camden,  upon  which  the  family  moved 
in  September  of  that  year  from  Rockland,  which  had  been  their 
home  for  20  yeai's.  His  new  home  is  pleasantly  situated  at  the  base 
of  Mt.  Pleasant,  a  wooded  mountain.  In  the  east  the  abrupt  and 
ragged  sides  of  Ragged  mountain  rise  high  into  the  sky.  Near  its 
base  in  plain  view  is  Grassy  Pond,  a  body  of  clear  and  sparkling 
water.  In  the  northwest  is  an  unobstructed  view  for  25  miles,  and 
Bowlen  mountain  in  Montville  can  be  distinctly  seen.  Portions  of 
Appleton  and  Union  are  plainly  discernible,  while  in  another  direc- 
tion 20  miles  away,  Waldoborough,  Me.,  greets  one's  vision. 

Since  1877  Mr.  St.  Clair  has  devoted  all  his  time  and  enei-gy  to 
farming.  In  polities  he  takes  a  deep  and  abiding  interest  and  is  a 
pronounced  Republican.  Is  intelligent,  and  well  read  upon  the  gen- 
eral topics  of  the  day.  He  manied  Dec.  25,  1845,  Leonora  Helen, 
daughter  of  Col.  Asa  and  Hannah  King  (Hewett)  Payson  of  Hope, 
Me.  She  was  born  in  that  town  Sept.  6,  1826,  married  early  in  life. 
Her  life  as  a  teacher  in  private  schools  was  short.  She  is  intelligent, 
active,  and  energetic,  with  much  executive  ability.  She  is  an  attend- 
ant and  member  of  the  Baptist  church.

Y.  N.  The  subject  of  this  sketch  showed  unusual  mental  gifts  at 
an  early  age.  When  three  years  old  she  could  read  and  write,  and 
in  her  ninth  year  wrote  her  first  poem,  "  The  Outcast,"  published 
in  the  Orleans  Republican  of  Albion,  N.  Y.  It  attracted  the 
attention  of  the  editor,  Mr.  Calvin  G.  Beach,  a  writer  of  rare 
merit,  who  with  his  wife  became  greatly  interested  in  the  young 
aspirant,  and  much  of  her  immediate  success  was  due  to  the 
kindness  of  her  friends,  who  loaned  books  otherwise  Inaccessi- 
ble to  her.  In  her  tenth  year  she  wrote  "  Thistledown,  An  Auto- 
biography," a  novel  of  marked  dramatic  power  and  artistic  unity 
in  construction  and  technique  incredibly  Iteyond  a  child  of  her 
age.  The  publication  of  the  book  was  delayed  by  lack  of  money 
and  she  meanwhile  began  to  publish  in  the  popular  newspapers 
and  magazines,  poems,  stories,  sermons,  essays,  and  humorous 
sketches  which  would  have  been  considered  marvels  had  the  age 
of  the  author  been  known.  All  were  signed  ''  Egypt,"  a  nom 
de  plume  chosen  t)ecause  of  the  child's  extreme  admiration  for 
all  things  Oriental  or  Egyptian.  Tiie  New  York  Independent. 
The  Chicago  Advance,  The  Northern  Chrietian  Advocate,  The 
ChriBtian  Leader,  The  Home  Journal,  The  Bural  New  Yorker,  The 
Waverly  Magazine,  The  New  York  Mercury,  The  Ladies'  Repository, 
of  Boston,  were  all  publishing  contributionf<  from  her  versatile 
jen  l>efor«>  her  fourteenth  year  ended.  During  this  period  the 
artistic  gift  be^'an  to  furnish  evidence,  and  she  was  soon  ardent- 
ly drawing  and  painting,  at  first  with  common  house  paint,  as 
more  refined  pigments  were  beyond  her  reach,  and  the  walls  of 
her  old  home  and  birthplace  are  still  adorned  with  the  work  of 
those  first  years  of  promise.  LandRcapes,  old  castles,  fiower 
pieces,  portraits,  and  an  imaginative  religious  work,  embodying 
the  sentiment  of  the  hymn  ^'Nearer  My  God  to  Thee,"  are  among 
the  productions  shown  as  the  work  of  her  hands  between  the 
ages  of  ten  and  sixteen.  To  increase  her  funds  and  facilities 
for  study,  she  taught  a  private  school  in  her  own  village,  in  her 
thirteenth  summer,  ana  at  the  summer's  close  received  a  Ist 
grade  certificate  from  the  school  commissioner,  who  did  not 
know  her  age.  The  following  winter  she  taught  a  country 
school  and  "boarded  round"  near  the  shore  of  Lake  Ontario, 
wading  through  snow  drifts  knee  high,  sometimes  a  distance  of- 
a  mile  and  a  naif  to  her  post.  So  great  was  her  success  as  a 
disciplinarian  iu  this  school  that  tnree  neighl)oring  districts

offered  their  whooU  to  lier  before  the  winter  term  ended.  'I'lif 
big  fellowrt  whom  «he  hud  conquered  (an  only  ii  woman  ean), 
never  dreaming  that  their  "  Mttle  achool-ma-am"  wan  only  four- 
teen years  old.  A  nunnner  of  teacliing  followed,  after  which, 
fearing  that  a  teacher's  life  was  too  arduous  for  so  sensitive  and 
delicate  an  organization,  her  friends  Induced  her  to  remain  at 
home  with  books,  and  brush,  and  pen.  At  this  time  through  the 
Influence  of  friends,  Miss  Wlllard  offered  the  gifted  girl  a  half 
free  tuition  In  the  college  at  Evanstowu,  111.,  but  paternal  oppo- 
sition prevented  her  acceptance.  In  the  same  year  the  Lo  Roy 
Female  seminary  made  a  most  generous  offer  of  entire  tuition 
free  to  the  brilliant  voung  author  and  artist  who  was  already 
becoming  known  to  the  literary  world  as  possessing  rare  gifts  If 
not  actual  genius.  Again  parental  opposition  prevented  accept- 
ance. Toward  the  end  of  this  year  a  gentleman  of  nmch  cul- 
ture and  an  agent  of  D.  Appleton  &  Co.,  became  Interested  In 
her  work  and  offered  to  educate  her,  but  the  offer  was  refused,  as 
was  a  similar  one  made  the  same  year  by  a  well-known  physi- 
cian of  much  literary  ability,  who  Included  In  his  offer  a  four 
years'  course  In  art  study  In  Europe.  But  this  proud,  ambitious, 
self-reliant  descendant  of  semi-royal  Scandinavian  and  Norman 
ancestors,  nothing  daunted  by  poverty  and  obstacles,  full  of 
impassioned  ardor  and  faith  In  the  work  she  wished  to  do,  could 
not  brook  the  galling  sense  of  obligation  which  such  gifts  entail. 
In  her  sixteenth  year,  with  the  assistance  of  her  pen  and  brush, 
she  went  to  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  and  Ijecame  a  special  student  there, 
with  the  best  Instructors  and  libraries  at  hand.  The  same  vear 
saw  a  completion  of  her  second  novel,  "The  Battle  of  Life," 
concerning  which  a  well-known  Washington  divine  said :  ''  It  has 
geniuB  and  power  enough  for  twelve  healthy  huvuin  h"Ok»."  When 
not  yet  eighteen  she  entered  the  Academy  of  Design  In  New 
York,  where  she  won  every  prize  then  In  the  hands  of  the  socie- 
ty to  give  to  a  woman.  With  four  or  five  companion  students 
she  helped  to  originate  and  organize  the  school  known  as  the 


Art  Students'  League  of  New  York,  the  most  advanced  art 
school  In  America,  or  perhaps  In  the  world,  where  women  may 
enjoy  absolutely  equal  opportunities  for  study  with  men.  She 
was  one  of  this  school's  Incorporators,  and  for  three  years  one 
of  Its  managers.  Her  health  suddenly  falling,  she  was  compelled 
to  abandon  all  mental  pursuits  and  s|)ent  a  year  In  the  West, 
resting  and  regaining  health.  She  then  returned  to  New  York 
to  renew  her  art  and  literary  work,  and  continued  there  until 
October,  1882,  when  she  contracted  a  marriage  with  Nathaniel 
Waldo  Emerson,  M.  D.,  of  Boston,  Mass.,  to  which  city  she 
removed.  1887  and  '88  were  spent  with  her  husband  and  Infant 
son  In  Germany,  where  she  again  took  up  her  literary  and  artist- 
ic work  wholly  laid  aside  since  marriage.  Some  of  her  most 
valuable  work  was  done  during  this  period,  but  the  limits  of  this 
sketch  will  not  permit  an  extended  notice  of  it.  Returning  to 
America  in  1889,  she  found  that  her  matrimonial  venture  had 
met  with  shipwreck,  and  she  was  compelled  to  secure  legal 
freedom  from  an  unfaithful  huf  band.  She  immediately  plunged 
into  historical  and  genealogical  research ;  organized  and  brought 
into  working  order  the  "Society  ue  Sancto  Claro"  numbering 
many  hundred  members,  of  which  she  is  secretary ;  entered  the 
lecture  field  with  two  papers  which  have  proved  eminently  suc- 
cessful on  "  Our  Norse  Discoverers,"  and  "  The  Origin  and  His- 
tory of  the  Norse  Arvel  Cup,  or  Holy  Grail."  At  her. Instiga- 
tion the  St.  Clair  clan  met  In  Chicago,  July  17, 1893,  where  they 
commemorated  the  discovery  of  America  in  893  by  the  kinsfolk 
and  ancestors  of  the  family,  holding  a  ten-days'  meeting  of  rare

independence  ho  that  she  need  never  sell  herself  In  marriage  or 
out  of  It;  to  give  women  the  right  to  he  legal  guardians  of  their 
own  oflfspring;  to  stimulate  universal  love,  charity,  pity,  kind- 
ness, tenderness,  between  all  animated  existences;  these  have 
ever  been  the  flaming  torches  of  her  Inspiration.  She  is  intense- 
ly proud  of  her  ancestry.  Is  impassioned  and  ardent,  yet 
reserved  in  miAiner,  except  to  intimates,  quick  to  resent  intend- 
ed aflVont,  (|ulck  to  punish  ofl'ence,  unflinching  and  unforgiving, 
as  a  Norman's  descendant  might  well  Iw,  yet  never  revengeful. 
An  adorer  of  truth,  she  abhors  hypmTlsy  as  the  chief  sin  of  the 
age,  and  cruelty  as  its  twin  and  complementary  crime.  Neither 
Orthodox  nor  Transcendentallst,  Atheist  or  Spiritualist,  she  holds 
with  Shelley  that  it  Is  still  possible  to  produce  a  mlllenlum  on 
earth  If  only  one  could  inaugurate  a  reign  of  charity  rather  than 
uf  faith.  She  is  a  passionate  lover  of  children  and  animals, 
and  a  Arm  believer  in  the  relgu  of  absolute  law,  accepting  even 
misfortune  as  a  part  of  the  infinite  and  unerring  Justice  of 
God,  which  should  be  met  with  courage,  and  endured  in  silence, 
with  perfect  faith  in  future  comiMinBatlon.

KlizalMith  (W<mhI)  Turrell  of  Pleasant  Valley,  Dutchess  co.,  N.  Y. 
The  young  couple  built  for  themselves  a  li«)me  n|H>n  a  portion  of  thu 
St.  Clair  estate,  and  with  bright  hopes,  true  love,  and  vigoroiiift 
health  they  entered  upon  their  new  life.  At  difTcr(>nt  times  ho  left 
the  farm  and  engaged  in  business,  sometimes  with  success,  at  others 
with  loss.  Finally  he  settled  upon  the  farm,  and  entered  zealously 
upon  the  task  of  l)eautifying  his  home  for  the  coming  years.  The 
observing  stranger  who  passes  along  the  state  road  one  mile 
west  of  Albion,  N.  Y.,  will  see  a  six  gabled  (iothic  building  whose 
sharp  roof  and  dormer  windows  .show  most  attractively  aliovo  the 
dark  green  of  the  fir  trees  and  the  Norway  pines  in  which  it  is 
embowered  and  surrounded.  This  is  the  homo  he  built,  and  which 
he  occupied.  It  is  where  his  children  grew  to  manhood,  and  to 
which  they  turn  with  loving  eyes,  for  every  tree,  bush,  flower,  and 
whatever  else  adds  a  charm,  was  planted  and  tended  by  their  parents 
or  tltemsolves.  Within  the  house  in  later  days  one  would  hardly 
have  recognized  in  the  gray  haired  old  man  the  once  dashing  athlete 
and  captain  of  the  Orleans  Grays,  nor  in  the  smiling  matron  the 
early  belle  of  Pleasant  Valley,  yet  they  were  the  same.  Their  faith 
changed  not  and  their  hearts  did  not  grow  old.  The  home  life  of 
Mr.  8t.  Clair  and  his  family  was  particularly  pleasant  and  inspiiing. 
Being  passionately  fond  of  music,  he  played  the  clarionette,  each  of 
his  sons  played  upon  some  instrument,  and  as  they  played  together 
the  influence  of  home  grew  stronger.  All  were  fond  of  books  and 
the  habit  of  reading  aloud  by  turns  each  evening  gave  pleasure  to 
all  and  made  home  very  attractive.  All  of  their  sons  were  baptized 
in  the  Episcopal  church  and  their  religions  training  was  strict,  but 
softened  and  endeared  by  precept  and  example.  Mr.  St.  Clair  and 
his  wife  were  members  and  attendants  of  the  Episcopal  churah. 
They  celebrated  their  golden  wedding  in  1883.  Mr.  St.  Clair  died 
in  Albion  of  paralysis  Oct.  29,  and  was  buried  in  Mcunt  Albion 
cemetery  Nov.  1,  1893.     She  resides  at  Albion,  N.  Y.

portion  which  is  now  Albion),  N.  Y.,  March  2i»,  IMIH.  There  ho 
received  his  education  and  grew  to  nmnh«MMl.  He  was  tall,  hand- 
some, straight  as  a  southern  pine,  with  blm^  eyes,  light  curly  hair, 
and  fair  complexion,  (iracofid  and  easy  in  Win  manners,  he  was  an 
entertaining  companion,  and  fond  of  society  ;  nnisio  was  his  delight, 
and  often  would  his  father  find  him  seated  beneatli  Home  shadowing 
tree  deeply  absorbed  in  some  book  of  adventure  or  travel,  and  the 
result  was  that  he  failed  to  heed  the  strongly  expressed  desires  of 
ills  friends  to  remain  near  them.  Early  in  life  the  home  tiresido  was 
forsaken  by  him  to  mingle  with  the  jostling  world,  and  as  he  said, 
''to  have  a  little  adventure  myself."  For  several  years  there  is  no 
record  of  his  wanderings  and  adventures,  but  later  he  engaged  in 
steamboating  on  the  Mississippi  and  its  tributaries,  with  headquarters 
at  St.  Louis  or  New  Orleans.  When  the  war  with  Mexico  broke  out 
the  old  warlike  spirit  of  his  ancestors  was  aroused  in  him  and  he 
volunteered  from  New  Orleans  and  went  to  Mexico  and  served  under 
Gen.  Zachary  Taylor,  and  other  commanders.  On  April  18,  1847, 
he  was  in  the  successful  battle  of  Cerre  Gordo,  on  Aug.  20,  in  the 
battles  of  Contreras  and  Cherubusco,  on  Sept.  8,  in  the  action  of 
El  Molinos  del  Rey,  on  Sept.  13,  he  was  in  the  successful  battle  at 
Chepultepec,  which  opened  the  gates  of  the  Mexican  capital  to  the 
American  forces.  He  was  desperately  wounded  in  the  storming  of 
Chepultepec,  and  for  a  long  time  was  in  the  city  of  Mexico  before  he 
fully  recovered.  During  hard  campaigns  he  had  shaied  with  the 
victorions  forces  their  battles,  sieges,  and  fortunes. 

While  in  the  city  of  Mexico,  he  met,  loved,  and  married  a  beauti- 
ful and  wealthy  lady  of  Spanish  blood,  Marie  Lucie  Avilla.  She 
died  at  the  close  of  the  first  year  of  their  married  life.  After  her 
death  Mr.  St.  Clair  returned  to  New  Orleans  and  resumed  his  former 
business,  with  an  occasional  visit  to  Cuba.  On  Marcli  2.5,  1850,  he 
married  Anna  Maria  Morris  of  New  Orleans,  daughter  of  Robert 
Morris.  She  died  of  cholera  or  yellow  fever  at  Natchez,  Miss., 
Sept.  7,  1853.     She  was  born  Dec.  13,  1825.     He  mamed  April  5,

iili 


J  fil,  Mrs.  Isabel  (Bjckerton)  Murray,  wlio  was  born  in  1835.  at 
Milnathort,  Kinross  co.,  Scotland.  Her  husband  had  previously 
died  in  New  Orleans,  of  yellow  fever.  Capt.  St.  Clair  was  an  active 
supporter  of  the  Confederate  cause  during  the  Rebellion,  and  died 
at  his  post  of  paralysis,  upon  the  Confederate  transport  steamer 
Frolk,  in  the  Red  river  at  Alexandria,  Jan.  10,  1863.  He  was  first 
oflScer  and  had  been  employed  in  canying  Confederate  soldiers  and 
supplies  from  the  east  to  the  west  of  the  Mississippi  river.  He  was 
buried  in  the  cemetery  at  Pineville,  opposite  to  Alexandria,  and  a 
monument  has  been  erected  to  his  memory  by  his  nephew,  Hon.  C. 
H.  St.  Clair.  He  combined  most  manly  traits  with  a  generosity  and 
goodness  of  heart  seldom  found  in  tliose  who  have  experienced  such 
rough  friction  with  the  world. 

During  the  war,  in  battle,  and  at  the  exchange  of  prisoners,  he  and 
his  nephew,  Charles  H.  St.  Clair,  met,  though  they  were  upon  oppos- 
ing sides,  and  had  faced  each  other  when  the  leaden  hail  was  falling. 
Though  each  believed  his  cause  just  and  each  would  have  died  in 
defense  of  his  cause  and  convictions  if  necessary,  yet  they  never 
wavered  in  their  friendship  for  each  other.  The  nephew  loved  and 
admired  the  uncle  who  had  named  him,  who  had  watched  over 
him  in  yellow  fever,  and  whose  heart  and  purse  were  always  open  to 
him ;  while  ithe  uncle  took  pride  in  the  skill  and  daring  of  his  pilot 
nephew,  which  led  him  to  take  the  U.  S.  ship  Westjield  to  attack  the 
famous  rebel  ram,  W.  H.  Webb,  while  convoying  the  Frolic,  and  to 
put  them  both  to  flight.  When  they  met  they  laughed  over  the  mat- 
ter, and  the  uncle  said,  "  Never  mind  boy,  he  who  fights  and  runs 
away,  will  capture  you  some  other  day."  Mr.  St.  Clair  had  collected 
much  memoranda  relating  to  a  history  of  his  family  which  was  lost 
by  his  absence  from  home  and  sudden  death.  After  that  event  Mrs. 
St.  Clair  married  Mr.  Robert  Hay,  who  soon  died.  She  is  now  a 
widow,  and  resides  in  New  Orleans,  La.     No  children.

Albion),  N.  Y.,  Oct.  5,  1821.  Was  educated  at  Albion  academy, 
and  graduated  at  the  college  at  Oberlin,  Ohio,  and  practiced  his  pro- 
fession  at  Royalton.  In  1851  he  became  agent  of  the  Cleveland 
Iron  Mining jCo.,  at  Marquette,  Marquette  co..  Mich.  Hardly  had 
he  been  in  that  bracing  climate  for  a  year  before  he  had  almost 
entii-ely  recovered  from  his  consumptive  tendencies,  which  had 
caused  his  removal  from  Cleveland,  where  he  had  been  in  business 
with  his  uncle.  Judge  Benjamin  Northrop.  He  resumed  the  practice 
of  his  profession.  In  1855-56  he  purchased  mining  property  which 
proved  very  valuable.  Being  free  in  his  manners,  social  by  nature, 
and  having  a  fine  education,  public  positions  soon  became  his.  Was 
supervisor  of  the  county  for  four  years,  registrar  of  the  U.  S.  Land

the  Phipps  Union  seminary,  at  Albion,  N.  Y.  She  loved  her  books,

mation and  many  of  the  records  of  this  branch  of  the  St.  Clair 
family  have  Ijeen  preserved.  To  her  they,  as  well  as  the  author  of 
this  history,  are  greatly  indebted.  •  She  is  calmly  gliding  down  life's 
stream,  happy  in  her  home,  with  her  books,  and  secure  in  the  love  of 
her  kindred.

and  lost  a  fortune.  In  1851  he  returned  to  Illinois  via  Mexico,  Centra! 
America,  Cuba,  and  New  Orleans.  He  located  in  Mt.  Pulaski,  and 
became  a  merchant.  He  there  married  Nov.  6,  1851,  Eliza  Ellen, 
daughter  of  James  H.  and  Mary  Ann  (Casady)  Neal  of  Rochester, 
III.  She  was  born  in  Bourbon  county,  Va.,  in  1830,  and  died  at 
Rochester,  111.,  Sept.  27,  1854,  leaving  one  child.  He  married  in 
Lancaster,  Ohio,  Oct.  7,  1858,  Catherine  Ring.  She  was  born  in 
Lancaster,  Sept.  7,  1833,  is  the  granddaughter  of  Joseph  and 
daughter  of  Greorge  and  Susanna  (Ludwig)  Ring.  Her  father  was 
born  in  Essex,  Mass.,  Jan.  2,  1787;  died  in  Lancaster,  Ohio,  April 
6,  1862.  Mr.  St.  Clair  rendered  valuable  services  in  the  cause  of 
the  Union  during  the  war.  He  enlisted  in  company  G,  35th  regi- 
ment, Illinois  infantry,  March  1,  1862;  was  promoted  to  a  1st  lieu- 
tenant and  detailed  as  brigade  quartermaster;  subsequently  was 
appointed  "A.  A.  Division  Quartermaster,  3d  Division,  4th  Army 
Corps,  Army  of  the  Cumberland"  and  held  that  position  till  the  close 
of  his  term  of  service.  He  participated  in  several  battles,  at  Cor- 
inth, May  28  and  29,  1862. 

He  was  highly  complimented  by  his  superior  officers  for  his  efH- 
ciency  in  building  breastworks  and  fortifications,  for  his  discipline, 
and  commendable  care  for  the  health  and  comfort  of  his  men.  While 
acting  as  division  quartermaster,  he  was  continually  in  the  field 
transporting  supplies,  and  had  many  thrilling  adventures  and  narrow 
escapes  from  being  captured  by  the  enemy,  but  he  never  lost  a  train, 
often  assisted  in  laying  pontoon  bridges  and  crossing  his  trains 
under  the  fire  of  the  enemy's  guns.  Was  at  one  period  in  command 
of  Greorgetown,  Ky.  He  was  skirmishing  continually  during  that 
memorable  march  to  Atlanta,  6a. ;  was  frequently  detailed  by  Gen- 
eral Thomas  and  by  General  Sherman  to  execute  hazardous  marches 
for  forage  and  supplies,  sometimes  into  and  through  the  enemy's 
lines.  His  train  was  held  as  near  the  front  as  possible,  with  rations, 
ammunition,  and  sanitary  stores,  and  he  was  one  of  the  first  to  enter 
Atlanta.  On  thb  evacuation  of  that  place,  he  returned  to  Nashville, 
in  Greneral  Thomas'  command.  During  the  last  battle  at  Nashville, 
Tenn.,  he  was  on  Gen.  T.  J.  Wood's  staff,  and  was  one  of  the  first 
to  scale  the  intrenchments,  and  during  this  battle  the  explosion  of 
a  caisson  caused  him  the  loss  of  the  use  of  one  ear.  He  participated 
in  the  battle  of  Franklin,  and  was  soon  after  discharged.  After 
it  the  cruel  war  was  o'er"  he  resided  at  Mt.  Pulaski,  111.,  then  at 
Decatur,  and  in  1871  removed  to  Belle  Plaine,  Sumner  co.,  Kansas, 
and  pre-empted  160  acres  of  land,  and  fenced  it  with  hedge 
fences,  had  valuable  orchards,  and  a  fine  park.  His  farm  was  a  model 
and  his  time  was  devoted  to  raising  fine  stock,  fruit,  and  vegetables. 

His  public  record  has  been  one  of  honor,  and  of  which  any  man  might 
be  proud.  He  was  once  coroner  of  Logan  co..  111.,  and  in  1875  was 
elected  to  the  state  senate  of  Kansas,  from  the  25th  district,  com- 
prising 13  counties,  by  a  majority  of  over  6000.  For  eleven  years 
be  was  a  member  of  the  State  Board  of  Agriculture,  and  vice- 
president  of  tlie  board  in  1880,  '82,  and  '83.     For  several  years  was

a  member  of  the  State  Horticultural  society,  and  took  a  decided 
and  intelligent  interest  in  the  development  of  all  those  special  indus- 
tries and  fruits  beneficial  to  agriculturalists.  For  twelve  yeare  was 
statistical  and  crop  reporter  for  the  national  and  state  governments ; 
was  appointed  by  the  governor  as  agent  to  the  Philadelphia  and  New 
Orleans  expositions,  and  twice  appointed  as  a  member  of  the  Farm- 
ers' congress.  Is  a  republican  in  politics  and  as  a  delegate  has 
attended  the  National  Republican  convention  at  Chicago,  111.  Has 
also  been  a  delegate  to  the  National  Encampment  of  the  Grand 
Army  of  the  Republic  at  San  Francisco,  Cal.,  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  and 
Columbus,  Ohio.  He  has  aided  materially  in  <he  development  of 
public  enterprises,  not  only  those  of  a  local  nature,  but  those  having 
a  wider  influence  for  good  upon  the  body  politic,  and  those  which  are 
enduring  in  the^r  nature.  Has  been  active  in  Illinois  and  in  Kansas 
in  the  locating  and  building  of  railroads,  and  for  years  was  a  direct- 
or in  some  important  ones.  As  an  active  advocate  and  helper  in  the 
building  of  school  houses,  churches,  and  the  founding  of  colleges,  he 
has  benefited  the  public.  He  has  for  many  years  been  identified  with 
the  Masonic  fraternity,  and  with  the  Methodist  Episcopal  church.  Mr. 
St.  Clair's  life  has  been  one  of  great  activity.  He  is  strong  and  vigor- 
ous. Is  now  in  his  70th  year  and  his  usefulness  is  not  yet  at  an  end, 
and  to  use  his  own  words,  he  stands  ready  ''  to  assist  in  developing 
another  state,  to  wit,  Oklahoma."  In  the  summer  of  1889  he  struck 
again  for  the  frontier  and  located  at  King  Fisher,  Oklahoma,  where 
he  now  resides.

"Blessed  are  the  dead  who  die  in  the  I.rf)rd."  He  died  at  Mantorville, 
Minn.,  Sept.  10,  1871.  *'Deacon  Bunker  was  born  in  Barnstead,  N.  II., 
Aug.  31,  1819.  In  the  spring  of  1855  he  came  to  Mantorville,  Minn.,  and 
his  family  came  in  the  autumn  of  the  same  year.  He  leaves  a  wife,  two 
sons  and  four  daughters  to  feel  the  stroke  of  Divine  Providence.  We  say 
to  feel  the  stroke !  Who  would  not  feel  the  loss  of  such  a  fond  husband, 
and  such  a  tender  and  affectionate  father  us  he?  Whatever  Divine  Grace 
may  do  for  us,  it  was  never  designed,  we  liclievc,  to  supplant  the  natural 
affections  of  the  human  heart,  ft  may  comfort  and  support,  but  the  cleav- 
ing stroke  must  be  felt,  and  felt  much  in  proportion  as  we  are  able  to  prize

N.  H. ;  resides  Bethlehem,  N.  H. 

For  the  last  five  years  he  held  and  honored  the  office  of  deacon.  He  was  a 
faithful  and  conscientious  Christian,  both  In  his  family  and  in  the  church. 
He  recompensed  no  man  'evil  for  evil,'  but  rather  provided  Hhinfrs  honest 
in  the  sight  of  all  men.'  He  was  a  very  conscientious  observer  of  the 
Sabbath,  and  a  liberal  supporter  of  the  means  of  grace.  Verily,  he  was  a 
pillar  of  the  church,  and  'an  epistle  known  and  read  of  all  men.'  But  he 
has  gone  fh)m  the  church  militant  to  the  church  triumphant.  He  was 
among  the  first  settlers  of  this  town,  and  will  long  be  remembered  by 
after-comers  for  his  hearty  welcome,  his  hospitality  and  deeds  of  kind- 
ness. He  will  be  remembered  also  as  loyal  and  faithful  to  his  country. 
Another  honored  soldier  has  fallen,  but  the  victory  is  won.  He  entered 
the  service  of  his  country  in  1862,  and  served  one  year  and  a  half.  For 
eight  years  he  carried  a  ball  in  his  right  leg,  suflbring  intensely  therefrom 
at  times  and  never  free  from  pain,  yet  he  patiently  endured,  and  faithfully 
labored  till  the  Master  called.  Now  he  has  finished  his  course,  and  entered 
into  rest."

1633.  John  G.  Sinclair^  [936]  (Charles  Grandison*,  Lieut.  Rich- 
ard*,  Col.  Richard*,  Samuel*,  John*,  John*).  Hon.  John  G.  Sinclair 
was  born  in  Barnstead,  X.  H.,  March  25,  1826.  He  married  Oct. 
29,  1847,  Tamar  Merrill  Clark,  who  was  born  in  Landaff,  N.  H., 
Sept.  2,  1828,  and  was  daughter  of  Col.  Daniel  and  Mary  (Merrill) 
Clark  of  that  town.  She  was  a  person  of  a  retiring  nature,  of 
modest  demeanor,  and  of  rare  intelligence  and  good  judgment.  She 
was  ever  true  to  her  ideas  of  right,  was  a  faithful  wife  and  mother, 
a  helpful  and  sympathizing  friend;  was  a  member  of  the  Metho- 
dist church,  and  died  in  Littleton,  N.  H.,  Feb.  10,  1872.  Mr. 
Sinclair  married  2d,  July  10,  1874,  Mre.  Mary  Elizabeth  (Pierce) 
Blandin,  widow  of  Willard  A.  Blandin,  and  daughter  of  John  and 
Rebecca  (Cnshman)  Pierce  of  Bethlehem,  N.  H.  She  was  born 
there  April  9,  1837.  She  was  a  member  of  the  Orthodox  Congregu- 
tional  churoh  in  Bethlehem,  and  upon  her  removal  to  Orlando,  Fla. , 
her  church  relations  were  transferred  to  the  church  in  that  place. 
She  is  an  earnest  worker  in  the  church,  and  for  charitable  objects. 

As  a  youth  Mr.  Sinclair  was  an  industrious  student,  a  bright  and 
successful  scholar.  Nature  gave  him  a  strong,  muscular  frame ;  his 
health  was  robust,  he  possessed  much  animal  spirits,  was  full  of  wit, 
and  a  great  lover  of  athletic  sports.  But  life's  duties  pressed  early 
upon  him,  and  at  the  age  of  thirteen  years  he  entered  the  emplo}'  of 
some  merchants  in  Landaff,  N.  H.,  with  whom  he  remained  six 
yeara.  He  prepared  for  college  at  the  institution  at  Newbury,  Vt., 
and  reluctantly  gave  up  a  collegiate  course,  which  he  greatly  desired, 
and  engaged  in  business.  He  was  first  in  business  in  Manchester, 
N.  H.,  then  in  Lawrance,  Mass.,  and  having  accummulated  some 
means,  he  located  in  Bethlehem,  N.  H.,  as  proprietor  of  a  country 
store,  and  a  manufacturer  of  starch.  Quickly  he  won  the  confidence 
and  favor  of  the  conmiunity.  He  was  called  into  political  life,  and 
represented  Bethlehem  in  the  legislature  in  1852-53,  '54,  '55,  '62, 
'63,  '76,  '77,  '78,  and  was  a  member  of  the  convention  chosen  to 
revise  the  Constitution  of  the  stat«.  In  1873,  while  a  resident  of 
the  adjoining  towh  of  Littleton,  he  was  elected  to  represent  that 
town  in  the  legislatm-e.  In  1858  and  '59  he  was  a  member  of  the 
New  Hampshire  Senate.  There  were  some  brilliant  episodes  in  his 
career  during  bis  long  and  active  legislative  history.  He  was 
acknowledged  to  be  one  of  the  most  daring,  most  aggressive,  and

clear-headed  leaders  of   the  Democratic  party  in  New  Hampshire; 
one  of  its  V  .'enest,  most  pungent,  and  brilliant  speakers. 

In  186C  he  A  as  the  Etemocratic  candidate  for  Governor,  but  failed 
of  an  election.  In  1867  he  was  again  the  standard  bearer  of  his 
party,  and  in  obedience  to  the  instructions  of  the  convention  which 
nominated  him,  and  which  knew  his  powers,  he  issued  a  challenge  to 
a  joint  public  discussion  of  the  question  at  issue  to  his  dashing 
oratorical  competitor,  Gren.  Walter  Harriman,  the  Republican  nomi- 
nee. It  was  accepted,  and  then  ensued  one  of  the  most  interesting, 
exciting,  and  brilliant  campaigns  in  the  history  of  the  state.  They 
were  wann  personal  friends.  They  traveled  together,  and  were 
each  other's  guests  in  their  respective  towns.  Both  were  fine  orators, 
and  great  throngs  of  people  attended  their  discussions  as  they  jour- 
neyed through  the  state.  Their  speeches  attracted  great  attention  in 
and  beyond  the  state,  and  editorials  in  the  leading  journals  criticised 
the  ailments  of  the  intellectual  athletes.  The  contest  was  sharp ; 
a  heavy  vote  was  polled,  and  the  Democratic  banner  again  trailed 
in  defeat.  But  Mr.  Sinclair  still  retained  his  leading  position  in 
the  councils  of  hi*;  party,  and  was  again  renominated  in  1868.  In 
1868  he  was  the  chaiimbn  of  the  NeW  Hampshire  delegation  in 
the  National  Democratic  convention.  During  the  administration  of 
Governor  Baker  he  was  appointed  bank  commissioner,  and  retained 
the  ofllne  until  the  Know-Nothing  party  rode  into  power  in  the  full 
flood  of  the  tide  of  popular  favor.  He  was  the  candidate  of  the 
Democrats  for  speaker  of  the  House,  and  was  the  nominee  of  his 
party  in  the  legislature  in  187€  for  United  States  senator.  His  long 
public  career  as  a  citizen  of  New  Hampshire  drew  to  a  close  in  1879, 
when  he  left  his  home  beneath  the  shadows  of  the  towering  moun- 
tains and  established  himself  in  a  new  abode  in  the  sunny  South, 
locating  in  Orlando,  Orange  co.,  Fla.  There  he  has  organized  a 
large  and  lucrative  real  estate  business,  and  is  engt^ed  in  other 
enterprises.  He  is  still  vigorous  in  mind  and  body.  His  intellect  is 
unclouded,  his  wit  is  as  keen  as  in  earlier  days,  and  his  tongue  has 
not  forgotten  its  power  of  eloquent  utterance*.

tiou  in  bis  native  town.  He  then  spent  several  years  in  a  country 
store  and  post  office,  and  taught  school  one  season.  In  the  spring 
of  1840  and  in  1841  he  went  with  his  uncle,  Mr.  Bucklen,  with  rafts 
of  lumber  which  were  floated  with  the  current,  where  he  gained 
much  knowledge  of  the  lumber  trade.  In  September,  1841,  through 
the  influence  of  his  friend,  Norman  Guernsey,  formerly  a  merchant 
in  Gerry,  be  was  offered  and  accepted  a  position  in  the  business 
department  of  the  New  York  Tribune  in  New  York  City,  where  he 
remained  until  the  end  of  1872,  having  filled  successively  the  posi- 
tions of  bookkeeper,  cashier,  and  publisher.  The  latter  office  he 
filled  for  13  years  previous  to  1873.  To  a  large  extent  he  was 
instrumental  in  building  the  enormous  circulation  as  well  as  the 
large  adveitising  business  of  that  great  Journal,  and  to  him  are  the 
readers  of  the  Tribune  indebted  for  the  broad  columns  and  large 
type  on  which  that  newspaper  is  printed.  For  several  years  Mr. 
Sinclair  was  the  largest  owner  of  the  Tribune.  He  lived  in  New  York 
City  from  September,  1841,  to  January,  1873,  since  which  time  he 
has  resided  at  Croton-on-Hudson,  on  the  farm  which  he  purchased  in

James,  Jr.*,  James',  Thomas*,  Joseph*,  James',  John').  He  was  born 
Aug.  8,  1886,  at  Albion,  Orleans  co.,  N.  Y.  From  the  fourth  to  the 
twelfth  year  of  his  age,  he  lived  with  his  grandparents,  Joel  and 
Elizabeth  Tureell  at  Pleasant  Valley,  Dutchess  oo.,  N.  Y.  Then  he 
returned  to  his  home  and  completed  his  education  at  the  Albion 
academy  when  18  years  of  age.  After  spending  two  years  in  Union 
Springs,  N.  Y.,  Bloomington  and  Rochester,  111.,  he  went  to  New 
Orleans,- La. ,  in  1858,  and  he  entered  the  medical  college,  and  sub- 
sequently he  engaged  in  the  business  of  steam  boating  on  the  Missis- 
sippi river.  He  secured  his  license  as  a  pilot  of  the  flrst-iclass 
when  the  war  broke  out  in  1861.  He  made  a  daring  escape  from  the 
Confederates  and  became  pilot  of  and  aboard  of  the  U.  S.  ship  Har- 
riet Lane,  under  Commander  Waiuwright  of  Admiral  Farragut's 
fleet.  Was  before  Vicksburg,  Grand  Gulf,  and  Port  Hudson.  When 
Farragut's  fleet  left  the  Mississippi  river  he  piloted  the  entire  mortar 
fleet  over  the  S.  W.  Pass  bar  and  out  to  sea.  The  fleet  consisted  of  13 
schooners  each  carrying  an  11 -inch  mortar.  With  high  testimonials 
from  his  commander  he  was  ordered  to  join  the  Mississippi  squadron 
under  Admiral  D.  D.  Porter,  at  Cairo,  111.,  and  was  assigned  to  duty 
on  the  steamship  Oeiveral  Price,  and  sen-ed  on  the  lower  river  till  the 
close  of  the  war.  He  had  many  vivid  experiences,  and  hair  breadth 
escapes.  He  was  selected  as  pilot  for  exposed  w^ooden  steamers, 
transports  and  despatch  boats.  With  an  open  transport  steamer,  he 
as  pilot  towed  the  great  ironclad  Essex  and  others  into  position 
before  Vicksburg,  Port  Hudson,  and  other  places,  and  in  the  exposed 
pilot  house  of  the  ram  Oeneral  Prke  he  rammed  an  opening  through 
the  obstructions  in  the  Red  river,  cleared  away  the  torpedoes,  and 
towed  many  of  the  ironclads  through  the  channel.  During  these 
times  often  the  leaden  hail  fell  thick  and  fast  about  him  and  the  sail- 
ors used  to  say,  ''it  rained  lamp  posts,"  for  the  long  18-inch  conical 
rifle  shells  as  they  came  near  them  seemed  to  scream  out  the  words, 
' '  Where  is  he  ?     Where  is  he  ?" 


•In  Admiral  D.  D.  Porter's  book,  "Incidents  of  the  Civil  War,"  pages 
244-45,  he  says :  "  I  mention  this  simply  to  show  the  kind  of  experiences 
to  which  the  navy  in  the  West  was  subject,  and  the  courage  which  the  offi- 
cers and  Men  exhibited.  Think  of  being  pursued  day  after  day  by  a  party 
of  bushwhackers,  watching  from  behind  trees  a  chance  to  pick  you  off. 
One  can  hardly  realize  the  danger  to  which  pilots  of  the  squadron  were 
exposed.  I  have  seen  a  pilot  receive  a  bullet  in  his  brain  the  instant  his 
hand  touched  the  wheel,  llie  pilots  were  targets  for  the  enemy  to  shoot 
at,  and  he  who  could  boast  he  had  killed  one  was  a  popular  man.  The 
pilots  were  worthy  western  men  by  birth,  but  passing  their  lives  on  the 
Mississippi  river  brought  them  into  intimate  relations  With  the  southern 
people,  wno  looked  upon  all  who  were  loyal  to  the  Union  as  traitors  to  the

After  the  war  Mr.  St.  Clair  resumed  the  biisinesB  of  steamboat- 
mg  on  tlie  Mississippi  and  other  rivers.  On  (Jet.  80,  1866,  he  was 
married  in  Trinity,  La.,  to  Mary  Alice,  only  daughter  of  Capt.  Isaac 
and  Sarah  J.  (Buctianan)  Johnson  of  New  Albany,  lud.,  and  grand- 
daughter of  Abraham  Johnson  of  Barre,  N.  Y.  She  was  born  in 
New  Albany,  Ind.,  Oct.  26,  1847.  During  their  wedding  tour, 
while  he  was  in  New  Orleans,  the  steamer  was  blown  up  and  all  save 
two  of  her  officers  were  killed.  At  the  earnest  solicitation  of  Mrs. 
St.  Clair,  he  gave  up  that  avocation  and  went  into  business  in  New 
Orleans,  La.,  where  he  remained  till  1872,  when  he  removed  to  Mor- 
gan City,  that  state.  He  was  elected  city  treasurer  in  1873,  elected 
mayor  in  1874,  and  served  for  eight  years.  Was  elected  a  member 
of  the  General  Assembly  in  1879,  for  the  parish  of  St.  Mary,  and 
served  on  many  important  committees  till  1884.  Then  he  was  re-elect- 
ed, but  being  a  Republican  was  denied  his  seat.  He  is  in  business 
in  Morgan  City,  La.,  where  he  resides,  and  has  for  many  years  held 
places  of  trust  and  honor  in  different  orders  and  societies.  A  writer, 
Nathan  W.  Gootlale,  says  of  him:  "Always  honored,  respected,  and 
l)eloved,  his  courage  and  tireless  labor  during  the  awful  yellow  fever 
epidemic  of  1878-79,  for  his  people  has  endeared  him  to  them  more 
than  words  can  express,  and  will  for  a  generation  to  come  cause  hiH 
name  to  be  spoken  of  with  heartfelt  blessings  by  those  who  knew 
him  personally  and  by  reputation."

sesHion  of  the  Confederates.  Itoiug  supplied  with  a  Hag  of  truce  he 
started  for  the  enemy's  line,  and  although  under  a  heavy  tire  reached

made  a  prisoner,  blindfolded,  and  taken  to  the  headquarters  of  (ien- 
eral Lee,  where  he  made  known  his  mission.  He  returned  to  the 
Union  lines  with  the  body  of  the  dead  general,  and  for  this  service 
received  a  most  complimentary  letter  from  (Jeneral  Meade  and  his 
staff. 

He  participated  in  the  following  battles,  as  appears  upon  a  record  : 
"  Hanover,  June  30,  1863  ;  Hunterstown,  July  2,  IH63  ;  Gettysburg,

Marquette,  or  Clarksburg,  Mich. 

He  married  at  Marquette  Oct.  22,  1867,  Henrietta  A.  Smith  of 
Caledonia,  Livingston  co.,  N.  Y.,  a  sister  of  his  business  partner, 
Dr.  A.  K.  Smith.  Their  married  life  was  short,  and  he  died  of  con- 
sumption, caused  by  army  exposure,  April  20,  1868.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  Episcopal  church  and  of  the  Masonic  society.  He  was 
buried  in  Mt.  Albion,  N.  Y.,  where  a  broken  marble  shaft  marks  the 
peaceful  rest  of  one  of  the  brightest  and  most  gallant  members  of 
the  St.  Clair  family.  He  was  finely  proportioned,  six  feet  in  height, 
straight,  with  clear  blue  eyes,  light  hair,  and  light  complexion,  and

at  which  he  was  present,  and  was  the  recipient  of  honors,  as  othei 
St.  Clairs  bad  been  in  the  past. 

It  is  said  that  he  is  able  to  give  without  hesitation  the  name  ol 
this  government's  representative  in  any  port  in  the  world.  He  is  a 
Mason  and  an  attendant  of  the  Episcopal  church.  He  married  Nov

EMMA  PEAVY  SINCLAIR,   OF  HAVERHILL,  MASS.  [1929 


Shoe  Co.  was  founded  by  him,  of  which  he  is  the  larRest  owner.  It 
is  the  largest  shoe  manufactory  of  its  kind  in  the  world,  and  employB 
about  twelve  liimdred  liands,  witli  an  aimual  pay  roll  of  over  five 
lumdred  thousand  dollars.  He  is  a  director  in  several  banks  and 
trust  companies.  A  newspaper  has  also  engaged  his  attention.  Of 
the  PortHmouth  Daily  Times,  published  in  Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  he  is 
the  owner  and  publisher. 

But  while  so  actively  and  so  extensively  engaged  in  these  various 
busipess  enterprises,  he  has  not  forgotten  nor  neglected  those  public 
interests  which  should  engage  the  thought  and  attention  of  every  true 
citizen.  An  active  and  leading  part  has  been  taken  by  him  in  the 
politics  of  his  native  state.  No  other  young  man  of  his  party  has 
been  so  prominent.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Senate  of  New  Hamp- 
shire  from  1888-1892,  and  was  one  of  its  readiest  speakers  and 
most  influential  members.  During  one  of  these  sessions  he  was,  as 
his  father  had  been  before  him,  the  standard  bearer  of  his  party  for 
the  United  States  Senator  against  the  successful  Republican  nominee, 
H6n.  Jacob  H.  (lallinger.  He  was  elected  a  member  of  the  New 
Hampshire  House  of  Representatives  from  1892-94,  and  in  1893 
was  for  the  third  time  elected  State  Senator  for  the  term  from  1894- 
96,  an  office  he  still  holds.  During  the  last  session  of  the  legisla- 
ture he  was  for  the  second  time  the  candidate  for  the  Democratic 
party  for  United  States  Senator  against  the  winning  Republican 
incumbent,  Hon.  William  E.  Chandler.  In  all  these  contests  he  has 
received  the  strength  of  his  party. 

He  married  in  November,  1873,  Emma  Isabel  Jones,  the  niece  and 
adopted  daughter  of  Hon.  Frank  Jones,  and  resides  in  Portsmouth, 
N.  H.  In  that  quiet  city,  on  the  shore  of  the  blue  Atlantic,  is  his 
beautiful  home.  Surrounded  by  his  interesting  family,  amid  works 
of  art  and  those  embellishments  which  wealth  can  bring,  he  finds 
pleasure  and  delight.  In  that  charming  retreat  his  friends  are 
always  welcome,  and  there  he  dispenses  a  generous  hospitality.  He 
is  now  in  the  prime  of  life,  in  perfect  health,  with  a  robust  and 
stalwart  frame,  full  of  activity  and  ambition.  His  mental  powers 
are  of  the  best  quality.  His  mind  is  strong  and  clear,  his  opinions 
positive  and  pronounced,  and  he  possesses  great  courage.  His  past 
has  been  a  success,  and  the  coming  years  can  hardly  fail  to  bring 
greater  honors  and  promotions  at  the  hands  of  his  fellow  citizens.

Penn.  Ha^^ng  a  strong  love  for  the  sea,  at  17  he  shipped  on  a 
sailing  vessel  and  made  several  voyages.  He  abandoned  that  busi- 
ness and  entered  Cornell  college  at  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  and  nearly  com- 
pleted his  course  when  an  accident  prevented  his  graduating.  He 
for  five  years  was  in  business  with  his  father  in  New  York  city.  He 
then  studied  law,  but  failing  health  obliged  him  to  seek  another  and 
milder  climate.  He  purchased  a  frait  farm,  mostly  oranges,  in 
Lugonia,  southern  California,  where  he  located  in  1887,  and  where  he 
now  lives  in  excellent  health.  This  place  has  been  united  with  Red- 
lands  as  a  city,  and  he  is  a  Republican  in  politics,  and  is  one  of  the

Sinclair  clans  in  ^America.  Among  their  myriad  descendants,  not 
Sinclair  by  name,  were  several  of  the  brave  Vikings  of  1893  who 
crossed  the  North  Atlantic  to  attend  the  World's  Fair.  Captain 
Magnus  Anderson,  commander  of  the  Viking  ship,  was  a  descendant 
of  Berdon  Seilstad,  who  shot  Col.  George  Sinclair  at  Kringelen  Pass 
(see  latter  part  of  page  49)  with  a  silver  button  bitten  from 
his  uniform ;  '  for,'  said  Seilstad,  '  ye  can  not  kill  a  Sinclair  with 
lead.'  Johan  Ericson  was  lineal  descendant  of  Red  Erise's  son. 
Alfred  A.  Holm,  secretary  of  the  Viking  ship  of  1893,  was  descended 
by  the  Einar  from  Rogenwald.  At  a  banquet  given  in  Chicago,  July 
19, 1893,  by  Mrs.  May  Whitney  Emerson  to  the  Vikings,  a  health  was 
drunk  in  one  cup  to  the  mt^moi'y  of  Berdon  Seilstad  and  Col.  George 
Sinclair  by  descendants  of  the  slayer  and  the  slain.  A  romantic 
love-marriage  was  the  result  of  this  banquet.  Miss  Gladys  Maud 
Seymour  of  La  Cross,  Wis.,  was  one  of  the  twelve  young  ladies  to 
lead  the  twelve  Vikings  to  dinner.  To  her  lot  fell  Mr.  Alfred  A. 
Holm  of  Christiania,  Noi-way.  From  that  hour  they  "were  inseparable. 
On  the  Ist  of  March,  1894,  they  were  married,  and  tlie  happy  pair 
are  now  at  home  in  Christiania,  on  the  very  land  owned  a  thousand

CHAPTER    VII. 


'  SPEECH    OF   HON.   JOHN    G.    SINCLAIB. 

In  that  memorable  contest  which  attracted  so  widespread  interest 
at  the  time,  and  which  hfts  become  historic  in  the  political  annals  of 
New  Hampshire,  Mr.  Sinclair  delivered  the  following  speech  in  the 
joint  discussion  with  Gen.  Walter  Haniman  at  Littleton,  N.  U., 
Feb.  12,  1867.     Reported  for  the  Boatm  Post  by  William  B.  Smart. 

Mr.  PraidetU,  Ladies,  and  Gentlemen:  — 

It  was  well  understood  by  my  friends  that  at  the  time  of  my  nomination 
bv  the  late  Democratic  convention,  on  account  of  multiplied  and  pressing 
enKajrements  of  my  own,  my  inclination  was  to  decline  the  nomination 
then  tendered  me.    I  desired  also  to  take  that  step  because  1  believed  then 
as  I  now  believe,  that  there  was  in  that  convention  a  distinguished  soldier, 
and  eminent  citizen,  who  having  been  long  withdrawn  from  active  partici- 
pation in  political  struggles  would  command  a  larger  vote  than  any  other 
gentleman  within  the  state.    I  need  hardly  say  that  I  refer  to  Gen.  John 
Bedell,  a  man  of  courage  never  questioned,  of  probity  beyond  suspicion, 
of  capacity  beyond  cavil,  and  of  character  beyond  reproach.    1  wish  to 
say  here  and  now,  that  my  own  convictions  as  to  what  is  best  for  our 
state,  and  what  may  be  a  necessity  arising  out  of  my  private  affairs,  may 
lead  me  to  fulfil  before  the  second  Tuesday  of  March,  this  desire  and  pur- 
pose.   I  have,  however,  felt  it  to  be  my  duty,  as  it  certainly  is  my  pleasure, 
to  yield  to  the  command  of  the  convention  which  nominated  me,  and  meet 
Mr.  Harriman  before  the  people  at  the  times  and  places  agreed  upon  and 
already  published  in  the  papers  of  the  state.    Now,  Gentlemen,  I  ought  in 
addition  to  these  remarks  to  state  to  you  what  other  action  I  have  t^en 
with  reference  to  meeting  the  Conservative  men  of  this  state  in  an  etton 
to  subserve  its  best  interests.    To  merge  narrow  attachments  merely  to 
party  in  a  broad,  true,  and  earnest  devotion  to  the  permanent  and  njgne« 
interests  of  the  state,  to  defend  and  uphold  the  constitution,  to  guard  with 
viirilance  the  finances  of  the  state,  to  return  to  the  severe  economy  of  for- 
mer years,  and  thus  gradually  to  pay  our  debts,  instead  of  mcreasmg  them. 
To  see  to  it  that  places  of  high  public  trust  and  responsibility  be  filled 
by  men  of  probity,  beyond  suspicion,  and  of  capacity  and  character  witn- 
out  taint,  to  utter  our  indignant  protest  against  the  tncks  of  scheming  parti- 
sans being  allowed  to  thwart  the  determined  will  of  the  people.  To  guarantee 
that  party  organizations  be  maintained  for  the  public  good,  and  never  for 
the  mere  gratification  of  place  men,  who  are  always  ready  tp  serve  their 
country  when  and  where  they  can  best  serve  themselves.    I  hoped  that 
these  and  other  obiecte  calculated  to  promote  the  honor,  dignity,  and  pros- 
perity of  the  state  would  be  bravely,  earnestly,  and  pereistantly  promul- 
gated by  the  recent  convention  caUed  ostensibly  to  put  Onslow  Steams  in

nomination  for  Governor,  and  I  further  hoped  to  encourage  and  actively 
join  in  action,  looking  to  these  results.  It  was  communicated  to  Mr. 
steams  and  many  of  his  friends,  that  in  my  judgment  if  we  would  save 
anything  worth  saving,  if  we  would  restore  hannony  to  the  land,  if  we 
would  relieve  ourselves  and  our  children  from  pecuniary  embarrassment, 
if  we  would  check  extravagance  and  peculation,  if  we  would  revive  the 
old  tone  and  patriotic  fervor,  past  issues  might  well  be  held  iti  abeyance 
for  the  time,  and  that  I  was  willing  to  grapple  manfully  in  conjunction  ' 
with  them,  with  the  momentous  issues  which  are  upon  us,  which  are  in 
fact  at  this  moment  upon  our  very  threshold.  You  know  what  was  the 
unanticipated  result  of  the  last  of  the  three  conventions  held  at  Concord 
on  the  29th  ult,  composed  of  men  who,  independent  of  higher  ground,  had 
publicly  proclaimed  that  the  Gubernatorial  nomination  of  the  man  who  is 
now  on  tnis  platform  was  for  various  reasons  not  fit  to  be  made.  Now, 
Gentlemen,  we  are  left  to  enter  upon  this  struggle  with  all  our  energies 
and  I  believe  with  as  elevated  motives  as  ever  nave,  or  can  animate  us. 
In  order  that  the  momentous  issues  which  are  now  upon  us  might  be  fairly 
met  and  discussed,  I  prepared  some  interrogatories,  comprehending  those 
issues  which  I  read  and  submitted  to  the  candidate  of  the  Republican 
party  at  our  first  meeting  at  Colebrook,  that  he  might  have  ample  time  for 
their  consideration,  pledging  myself  to  consider  and  answer  any  and  all 

guestions  involving  the  issues  of  the  present  campaign  which  he  might  see 
t  to  put,  or  promptlv  acknowledge  my  inability  to  do  so.    These  ques- 
tions were  in  part  as  follows: 

1st  Are  you  in  favor  of  the  impeachment  of  Andrew  Johnson,  Presi- 
dent of  the  United  States,  and  can  -you  state  any  constitutional  cause  for 
his  impeachment'/ 

2d.  Are  you  in  favor  of  reducing  sovereign  states.  North  or  South,  to 
the  condition  of  territories? 

3d.  Are  you  in  favor  of  allowing  sovereign  states  the  right  of  repre- 
sentation in  Congress,  and  do  you  mlieve  it  to  be  not  only  the  right  but 
constitutional  duty  of  each  state  to  have  such  representation?  It  no,  on 
what  ground? 

4th.  Do  ^ou  believe  in  the  right  or  power  of  Congress  to  assume  the 
powers  of  either  the  Executive  or  Judicial  department? 

6th.  Are  you  in  favor  of  the  regulation  or  interference  by  Congress 
with  the  elective  franchise  of  the  several  states? 

6th.  Are  you  in  faVor  of  unqualified  Negro  suffrage,  and  would  you 
make  a  distinction  in  favor  of  the  Negro  and  against  the  Indian? 

7th.  Did  you  approve  at  the  time  of  its  passage  of  the  Crittendon  resolu 
tion,  and  do  you  approve  of  the  same  principles  now? 

8th.  Do  you  hold  that  the  general  government  is  one  of  limited  power, 
and  confined  by  those  expressly  granted  by  the  constitution,  and  that  all 
powers  not  so  granted  are  reserved  to  the  people,  and  the  states  respec- 
tively? 

Otn.  Would  yon  abide  by  the  theory  and  form  of  government  framed 
by  the  founders,  Washington  and  his  associates? 

10.  Doyou  hold  that  the  interference  with  the  eleciive  franchise  in  the 
states  bv  Congress  is  usurpation? 

11.  Are  you  in  favor  to  the  fullest  extent,  and  unabridged  in  every  par- 
ticular of  the  sacred  right  of  trial  by  jury,  and  do  you  support  and  approve 
the  recent  decision  of  we  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States,  guarantee- 
ing this  right  wherever  the  courts  are  open  and  organized? 

12.  Do  you  believe  either  in  the  right  or  expediency  of  the  introduction 
of  test  oaths,  or  of  any  obligation  other  than  that  of  faithful  support  of 
the  National  and  State  Constitution  as  provided  in  the  fundamental  law  of 
the  land?

Although  these  questions  are  now  agitating  Congress  and  the  country, 
thev  have  been  declared  by  the  radical  candidates  to  be  dead  wnues  and 
not  now  before  the  people,  but  the  issue  he  nialces  is  one  of  personal  fitness. 
He  and  the  organs  of  his  party  claiming  the  suffrage  ot  the  people  on  the 
ground  of  his  distinguished  military  services.  1  meet  the  issue  here  and 
now.  and  as  before  with  questions.  Are  the  charges  ond  specifications 
preferred  against  you  by  Maj.  E.  W.  Farr  and  other  officers  of  your  regi- 
ment trueV  If  not,  in  what  particular  do  you  deny  them?  Did  you  at  the 
time  these  charges  were  preferred  acknowledge  their  truthfulness  and  beg 
of  Major  Farr  to  allow  you  to  resign,  and  did  you  resign  in  the  face  of  the 
enemy  rather  than  abide  the  result  of  a  court  martialV 

At  the  time  you  were  taken  prisoner  was  any  other  member  of  your  reg- 
iment, officer  or  private,  taken  with  you?  Was  there  at  that  time  an 
order  issued  for  your  arrest  or  muster  out  of  service?     ,        ,  ^  .        . 

(The  following  are  the  charges  and  specifications  referred  to,  copies  of 
which  were  distributed  in  the  audience.) 
Charge  1st.  Deserting  his  post  while  on  duty  before  the  enemy.

the  night  of  Dec.  14,  186-2,  did  on  the  next  night  after  having  been 
posted  as  aforesaid,  desert  his  post  ordering  his  men  to  follow  him,  and  he, 
Walter  Harriman,  Colonel  11th  Regiment  N.  H.  Volunteers,  did  then 
march  his  Regiment  away  from  their  post,  through  the  city  of  *  redericks- 
burg,  and  back  across  the  Rappahannock  river,  without  having  been 
relieved  by  any  one  or  having  received  orders  to  do  so  from  the  command-

following  language,  to  wit:  "Colonel  Harriman  who  is  never  to  be  ou^ 
done  in  acta  of  courtesy,  responded  for  the  Regiment  nobly,  feelingly,  and 
in  terms  of  such  patriotic  fervor,  as  to  cause  peal  after  peal  of  applause 
to  wake  the  echoes  through  the  vast  hall.  The  Colonel  never  tails  wherever 
you  put  him."  To  the  prejudice  of  good  order  and  military  dicipline.

N.  H.  Volunteers,  being  a  member  of  mess  of  his  brother  officers,  bring 
into  said  mess  a  small  quantity  of  butter,  stating  that  he  had  15  pounds  of 
butter  which  he  had  Imught  in  Washington,  and  paid  twenty-five  cents 
per  pound  for,  which  bill  was  paid  by  the  mess  aforesaid  and  '*»e  money 
received  by  the  said  Walter  Ilarrinmn,  Colonel  11th  Regiment  H.  Vol- 
unteers, when  in  truth  and  in  fact  there  were  10  pounds  instead  of  15, 
and  the  butter  was  made  by  his  wife  at  her  house  at  Warner,  N.  H.,  and 
it  was  brought  by  herself  to  Washington,  1).  C,  and  there  given  to  the 
aforesaid,  Walter  Harriman,  Colonel  11th  Regiment  N.  H.  Volunteers, 
and  the  aforesaid  Walter  Harriman,  did  in  this  transaction  tell  a  deliber- 
ate falsehood,  thereby  forfeiting  all  claim  to  the  confidence,  honor,  resiiect, 
and  obedience  of  his  officers  and  men.  This  at  Camp  11th  Regiment  N.

Speofication  4th.  In  this,  that  he,  Walter  Harriman,  Colonel  11th  Reg-

ericksburg, Va.,  receive  one  bag  of  grain  from  Joshua  Smith,  private  of 
Co.  B,  Ifth  Regiment  N.  H.  Volunteers,  then  Brigade  Forage  Master, 
said  grain  to  be  divided  between  all  the  private  horses  of  his  Regiment, 
and  did  say  when  he,  Walter  Harriman,  Colonel  11th  Regiment  N.  H. 
Volunteers,  was  asked  by  Quartermaster  James  F.  Briggs,  11th  Regiment 
N.  H.  Volunteers,  for  said  grain,  that  it  might  be  distri  buted  to  the  severa 
officers  entitled  thereto,  that  it  was  his  own  property  which  he  had 
bought  of  said  Joshua  Smith,  private  of  Co.  B,  llth  Regiment  N.  H.  Voll 
unteers,  and  paid  him  the  sum  of  fifty  cents  therefor,  which  statement 
was  false  and  untrue.  This  at  the  city  of  Fredericksburg,  on  or  about-

I  will  now  proceed  to  present  to  you  such  considerations  as  I  think  are 
entitled  to  weight,  and  should  bring  us  to  victory.  Allow  me  to  say  that 
I  am  here  to  compare  considerations  with  the  candidate  of  the  Republi- 
can party  with  re^d  to  what  is  best  for  the  interests  of  the  citizens  of 
New  Hampshire,  and  what  is  best  for  the  entire  country.  1  shall  not 
attempt  to  entertain  you  with  tropes  and  figures,  or  with  anything  other 
than  tacts  and  reason.  It  is  vain  to  recur  to  the  past,  except  so  far  as  the 
lessons  of  the  past  may  guide  us  for  the  present  or  the  future.  If  I  were 
disposed  I  could  quote  from  the  candidate  himself  as  to  the  causes  which 
inevitably  produced  the  terrible  Civil  War  through  which  we  have  passed, 
and  the  means  which,  when  it  was  upon  us,  should  have  been  resorted  to 
for  its  avoidance.  I  lay  down  as  a  fundamental  principle,  recognized  and 
endorsed  by  Mr^  Lincoln  in  his  messages  and  proclamations,  what  has 
l)een  denominated  as  the  Crittendon  resolution,  in  these  words: 

"  Resolved,  That  the  present  deplorable  Civil  War  has  been  forced  upon 
the  country  by  the  disunionists  of  the  Southern  states,  now  in  arms  against 
the  Constitutional  government,  that  in  this  National  emergency,  banishing 
all  feelings  of  mere  passion  and  resentment,  we  will  recollect  only  our  duty 
to  the  whole  country,  that  this  war  is  not  waged  on  our  part  in  any  spirit 
of  oppression,  or  for  any  purpose  of  conquest  or  subjugation  or  purpose  of 
overthrowing  or  interfering  with  the  rights  or  established  institutions  of  these

BPERCH  OF  HON.  JOHN  0.  SINCLAIR. 


$tat«$,  but  to  defend  and  maintain  the  eupretnaey  of  the  Conetitution  and  to  pre- 
eerve  the  Union  mith  all  the  dignity,  equally,  ana  rights  of  the  Mveral  atates 
unimpftirad,  and  that  as  aoon  as  these  objects  are  aooomplished,  the  war 
ought  to  oease." 

Now  it  is  not  neoessarv  to  repeat  what  evervbody  knows,  that  the  doc- 
trines and  opinions  of  that  resolution  were  adfopted  by  the  United  States 
Senate  ana  House  of  Kopresentativea  with  almost  entire  unanimity. 
Will  the  candidate  pretend  that  with  vitality  ffiven  to  that  resolution,  we 
should  not  today  be  a  happy,  prosperous,  and  united  people? 

With  every  state  performing  its  Constitutional  functions,  and  enjoying 
its  Constitutional  rights.  Now,  with  these  declarations  of  Congress  what 
had  the  South,  what  had  men  North  or  South  who  possessed  the  least 
regard  to  either  honor,  consistency,  or  truth,  the  right  to  expect'/  That 
ten  states  of  thin  Union  were  to  be  reduced  to  the  condition  of  territories? 
That  in  violation  of  the  most  obvious  principles  of  the  Constitution  they 
were  to  be  subjected  to  taxation  without  representation,  and  to  the  control 
of  a  government  in  which  thev  had  no  participation?  If  that  be  not  des- 
potism will  the  candidate  tell  us  what  constitutes  despotism?  Not  the 
republic  of  1789,  under  the  constitution,  but  the  very  identical  despotism 
against  which  our  fathers,  who  framed  that  Constitution,  fought  at  Lexing- 
ton and  Bunker  Hill.  Are  you  willing  to  either  advocate,  endorse  or 
excuse  this  line  of  conduct?  H  you  are,  which  I  cannot  believe,  let  me 
ask  your  attention  to  another  view  of  this  subject.  How  such  action  must 
inevitably  affect  your  intereste  here  at  home.  The  debt  of  the  United 
States  government  is  today  reckoned  bv thciiands  of  millions  of  dollars, 
every  state  groans  under  ito  burden  of  eiisUt  indebtedness,  every  county, 
everv  town  has  ite  credit  strained  to  the  i  .ttermost.  The  interest,  at  least, 
of  tnis  immense  indebtedness  must  be  an^iually  paid.  To  what  source 
and  from  what  means  must  the  American  people  look  for  the  payment  of  the 
taxation  inevitable  from  this  condition  of  things?  You  answer  at  once  that 
our  sole  reliance  must  be  upon  energetic  and  speedy  development  of  the 
gigantic  resources  of  our  land,  that  (Mveloprnent  can  only  follow  the  con- 
dition of  the  country  contemplated  by  the  Crittendon  resolution  upon  the 
cessation  of  hostilities,  and  yet  how  different  is  our  condition  from  that 
contemplated  in  that  resolution.  For  nearly  two  vears  our  armies  have 
been  "disbanded,"  war  has  caased,  the  laws  of  tne  United  States  have 
their  legitimate  force  from  t  .o  end  to  the  other  of  our  extended  domain, 
slavery  nas  been  abolished  Uy  the  adoption  of  the  Constitutional  Amend- 
ment oy  the  South  itself.  The  Rebel  debt  has  been  repudiated,  the 
authority  of  the  United  States  everywhere  acknowledged  and  nowhere 
resisted,  and  yet  we  have  the  very  recent  authority  of  Mr.  Stanton,  Secre- 
tary-of-War,  that  at  no  time  within  the  past  five  years  has  the  country 
been  in  a  condition  either  so  critical  or  so  dangerous  as  at  the  present 
moment. 

Now,  what  causes  and  what  constitutes  this  impending  danger?  Why 
in  the  second  year  of  absolute  peace  are  ten  states  of  this  Union  kept  in  a 
condition  almost  of  disorganization,  with  theu  productive  resources  par- 
alyzed, and  their  people  held  in  a  state  of  absolute  want?  Why  is  it  that  the 
cotton  and' wheat  crop  of  the  South  are  reduced  in  this  second  vear  of  peace 
to  about  one  twentieth  of  their  former  amount?  Why  is  it  that  the  mar- 
keto  of  the  South  are  practically  shut  to  the  New  England  manufacturer? 
Why  it  it  that  the  old  annual  contribution  of  $500,000,000  from  the  cot- 
ton crop  is  cut  off  in  this  our  time  of  need  from  the  National  resources? 
Is  it  because  we  have  "  banished  all  feeling  of  mere  passion  and  resent- 
ment, nnd  recollect  only  our  whole  duty  to  the  whole  country?"  Is  it 
becau'ic  there  is  no  "  spirit  of  oppression  or  subjugation,  or  purpose  of 
overthrowing  or  interfering  with  the  righto  or  established  institationa  of

whole  country?"  Is  H 
tjugation,  or  purpose  of 
tabliahed  institutiona  of 


any  of  the  states  of  the  Union"  abroad  in  the  land?  Is  it  because  of  a 
Ht«rn  determination  to  "  maintain  the  supremacy  of  the  Constitution  and 
pretterve  the  Union  with  all  the  dignity,  equality,  and  rights  of  the  several 
states  unimpaired,"  or  is  it  because  all  these  pledges  and  principles,  and 
rights  have  oeen  violated,  and  spit  upon,  and  trammed  under  foot  for  the 
low  purposes  of  personal  ambition,  partisan  malignity,  and  political  aggran- 
dizement? Does  the  candidate  deny  the  soundness  of  the  Crittendon  reso- 
lution? Does  he  deny  the  soundness  of  the  theory  of  Mr.  Lincoln's  mes- 
sages and  proclamations  based  upon  the  principles  of  that  resolution? 
Now,  instead  of  the  clear  patriotic,  aye  Christian  sentiments  and  pledges 
of  that  resolution,  what  are  the  propositions  today  before  the  country,  and 
what  the  surrounding  facts? 

1st.  It  is  claimed  that  ten  states,  under  various  pretexts,  are  out  of  the 
Union  and  therefore  requiie  to  be  reconstructed,  or  in  other  words,  are 
mere  territories  and  require  readmission. 

2d.  That  being  in  the  Union  they  have  by  their  participation  in  the 
Rebellion  placed  in  abeyance  the  right  guaranteed  to  the  states  of  repre- 
sentation in  Congress.  As  to  the  first  propoHition,  they  have  been  recog- 
nized as  states  in  the  Union  by  every  department  of  the  government,  the 
Executive,  the  Legislative,  and  the  Judicial.  By  the  Executive  depart- 
ment in  the  messages  and  proclamations  of  President  Lincoln  and  the  sub- 
sequent corresponding  action  of  President  Johnson.  Bv  the  Legislative 
department,  in  the  concurrent  action  of  both  houses  of  Congress  at  the 
commencement  of  the  war,  and  always  by  their  reference  of  the  amend- 
ment abolishing  slavery  to  their  state  Legislatures,  by  the  admission  of  the 
members  of  Tennessee,  and  by  various  other  acts.  By  the  Judicial  branch, 
in  the  consideration  of  suits  by  the  Supreme  Court  between  citizens  of 
those  and  other  states.  Now,  let  us  see,  if  these  various  recognitions  are 
well  founded,  what  are  the  palpable  facts  of  history  within  the  clear  knowl- 
edge and  personal  recollections  of  every  ono  within  the  sound  of  my  voice. 
In  1800  the  Southern  states  claimed  that  they  had  the  right  to  secede  and 
attempted  to  put  that  right  into  practical  execution.  The  North,  in  posses- 
sion 01  the  government,  denied  the  riffht  and  war  followed  upon  this  exact 
issue.  The  South  fighting  for  the  right,  and  the  North  fighting  to  prevent 
its  exercise  as  avowed  by  every  department  of  our  own  and  the  so  called 
Confederate  government,  and  the  question  was  decided  by  arms  that  no 
matter  what  the  theory,  secession  was  a  practical  impossibility.  What 
then  was  the  condition  of  things?  They  had  said  that  they  had  the  right 
to  secede  or  eo  out  of  the  Union,  and  would  exercise  it  The  North  said 
that  they  haa  no  such  right,  and  should  not  exercise  it.  The  South  having 
failed,  where  were  the  states  left?  The  South  had  not  taken  them  out,  for 
they  were  unsuccessful  in  their  attempt,  where  were  thev  then,  except  in 
the  Union?  The  North  fought  to  keep  them  in,  and  if  they  are  out  Uien 
was  the  issue  of  war  decided  against,  and  not  in  favor  of  t£e  North. 

If  then,  the  cessation  of  hostilities  left  these  states  in  the  Union,  they 
are  entitled  to  all  the  rights  of  sovereign  states,  and  under  the  plainest 
provisions  of  the  Constitution,  entitled  to  the  right  and  subject  to  the  duty 
of  representation  in  Congress,  for  no  one  will  be  so  bold  as  to  assert  that 
each  state  is  not  the  political  equal  of  every  other  state,  and  entitled  to 
equal  rights.  If  a  state  has  no  individual  right  of  secession,  is  there  any 
power  to  turn  a  state  out  of  the  Union?  The  right  of  state  secession  has 
been  claimed  by  extreme  states  rights  men  from  the  first  adoption  of  the 
Constitution,  but  when  and  where  has  the  claim  ever  been  made,  up  to  the 
last  year,  of  the  right  of  Congress  to  turn  a  state  out  of  the  Union,  or 
depnve  it  of  any  of  its  rights?  Where  is  the  clause  of  the  Constitution 
which  justifies  it  or  even  recognizes  the  continKency  either  expressly  or  by 
implication.  But  the  candidate  may  say  it  woiud  be  dangerous  to  aUow  the

danger  ho  great  bn  a  phiin,  nulpable  violation  of  the  great  fundamental 
law.  If  it  ue  dangerou*  to  oliey  the  ConHtitution,  then  our  whole  theory 
of  government  Ih  a  fraud,  and  worne  than  a  farce.  HuppoM  that  a  laaior- 
ity  of  CongreiH  Hhoiild  fancy  that  it  would  be  dangerous  to  allow  New 
Hammhire  renreoentation  in  CongreitH,  what  would  be  the  obvious  anawer? 
Would  it  not  tie,  (ientlenien,  our  right  of  reproHeiitation,  thank  God,  doen 
not  rest  upon  the  real  aHHUined  opinion  of  Congress  as  to  whether  it 
would  be  Iwtter  for  us  to  have  representation,  but  is  an   absolute  right, 

Suaranteed  bv  the  Constitution,  of  which  no  power  on  earth  can  rightfully 
eprive  us,  which  cannot  be  determined  by  any  real  or  fancied  danger,  for 
it  IB  a  risrht  the  exiHtiMicH  and  exercise  of  which  does  not  admit  of  discus- 
sion, without  insult  to  the  fathers  who  guaranteed  that  right  without  pos- 
sible exception. 

But,  suppose  for  the  sake  of  argument,  that  it  is  admissable.  under  cer- 
tain cirounistances  or  exigencies  to  palpably  violate  the  Constitution,  and 
every  principle  of  popular  government,  to  have  taxation  without  repre- 
sentation, government  without  constituencv  or  consent  of  the  governed. 
What  are  tnose  exigencies?  Why,  the  candidate  says  it  would  be  danger- 
ous to  allow  the  .South  to  participate  in  the  affairs  of  the  government. 
Dangerous  to  what,  and  to  whom')*  Does  he  seriously  assert  that  the  six 
millions  of  the  South  would  out-vote  and  control  the  twenty-two  millions 
of  the  North.-  The  former  impoverished  by  the  terrible  realities  of  a  four 
years  devastating  war  waged  upon  its  soil,  its  people  suffering  almost  for 
tiie  common  necessities  of  life,  and  the  latter  rolling  in  boasted  wealth. 
It  is  impossible  to  heighten  the  absurdity  which  the  mere  statement  of  the 
case,  as  it  exists,  carries  with  it.  But  the  gentleman  says,  would  you  allow 
Rebels  to  participate  in  the  affairs  of  the  governraentV  I  answer,  dis- 
franchisement of  political  communities  is  neither  a  legitimate,  proper,  or 
legal  punishment,  for  crime  is  only  to  be  punished  by  the  means  and  in 
the  manner  provided  in  the  Constitution  by  indictment,  trial  by  jury,  with 
all  the  safeguardfi  for  the  decision  of  questions,  both  of  law  and  fact, 
which  that  sacred  instrument  provides.  Individuals,  not  communities,  com- 
mit crime  under  all  free  governmeuta,  and  specified  punishments  provided 
in  advance,  follow  trials  ^nd  convictions  under  our  Constitution.  Not 
ex-poit  facto  punishments,  expressly  forbidden,  not  only  by  common  sense 
and  justice,  the  world  over,  but  by  the  clearest  provisions  of  our  funda- 
mental law.  Dangerous  to  abide  by  the  Constitution  and  the  plainest  prin- 
ciples of  the  common  law  is  it,  dangerous  to  permit  the  population  of  the 
ten  states  of  the  Union  to  participate  in  the  affairs  of  the  government? 
If  this  be  dangerous,  viho  can  estimate  the  danger  which  would  be  the 
natural  and  inevitable  result  of  their  exclusion,  by  teaching  by  the  most 
impressive  and  fatal  lesson  possible  to  be  taught  to  six  millions  of  people, 
that  they  are  under  and  not  of  the  government,  that  they  are  a  proscribed 
race,  that  the  doors  of  political  position,  aye,  of  decent  livelihood,  are  for- 
ever closed  to  them,  that  they  are  the  Irish  of  England,. the  Poles  of  Russia, 
the  Hungarians  of  Austria,  and  the  Chriatians  of  Turkey,  compelled  to 
learn  the  lesson  of  undying  hatred  themselves,  and  teach  and  transmit 
it  with  increasing  virulence  to  their  children  and  their  children's  children. 

Was  the  object  of  the  late  terrible  strife  not  to  restore  the  Union,  and 
sustain  the  Constitution,  but  to  show  with  how  much  of  malignity  and 
how  little  of  conciliation  both  may  be  destroyed?  England  has  her  Ire- 
land groaning  under  oppression  and  misgovernment,  yet  English  malignity 
has  never  yet  been  found  strong  enough  to  suggest  the  deprivation  of  com- 
mon political  rights  to  communities  who  have  engaged  in  unavailing 
Rebellion. 

Leaders  have  been  indicted,  tried,  and  in  some  instances  punished,  bat

where  are  the  instances  of  English  governmental  shafts  levelled  at  whole 
communities?  Hungary  unsuccessfully  rebelled,  Kossuth  fled,  and  a  very 
few  of  the  leaders  were  punished  and  the  conciliation  and  the  confirming 
of  new  political  privileges  followed.  Russia  ground  Poland  to  the  dust 
but  the  sparks  flashing  under  the  iron  heel  of  the  oppressor  generated 
revolution  after  revolution,  till  conciliation  became  the  ruling  policy  of  the 
Russian  Empire. 

Does  the  gentleman  believe  that  six  millions  of  people,  descendants  of 
those  men  who  stood  shoulder  to  shoulder  with  our  fathers  through  the 
war  of  the  Revolution,  bone  of  our  bone,  and  flesh  of  our  flesh,  can  be 
made  political  outcasts  with  safety,  or  that  either  Christianity,  humanity, 
honor,  or  statesmanship  does  not  spurn  the  idea  as  shocking  to  the  moral 
sense  of  mankind?  Are  the  American  people  prepared  to  drown  all  sense 
of  honor,  of  principle,  of  humanity,  or  statesmanship  to  engraft  upon  six 
millions  of  their  own  race  the  desperation  of  Ireland,  the  discontent  of 
Hungary,  and  the  despair  of  Poland?  Have  the  teachings  of  Christianity 
given  place  to  the  low,  groveling  sentiments  of  partisan  mali^ity,  and  to 
accomplish  this,  must  the  plainest  provisions  of  the  Constitution,  and  the 
most  palpable  principles  of  free  government  be  trampled  upon,  and  disre- 
garded? Are  we  to  go  back  to  the  fatal  errors  of  the  past?  Are  we  to 
endeavor  to  go  on  without  any  constitutional  restrictions  or  guaranties? 
Are  we  to  be  deluded  with  the  idea  that  we  can  establish  in  the  first  place  a 
consolidated  Republic  to  end  as  all  history  assures  us  in  a  consolidated  des- 
potism,the  whole  theory  of  the  government  changed,  and  a  great  central  des- 
potism, erected  upon  the  last  hope  of  mankind? 

God  forbid,  men  of  New  Hampshire,  whatever  others  may  do,  that  your 
hands  should  be  stained  with  this  terrible  iniauity.  Can  unprincipled 
insolence  go  farther  than  to  suggest  that  the  descendants  of  Langdon, 
and  Stark,  and  Pierce,  and  Poor,  and  Scammel  take  part  in  this  contem- 
plated outrage,  that  the  sons  of  those  in  whose  midst  the  great  expounder 
of  the  Constitution  was  born  and  reared,  shall  trample  in  the  dust  both  his 
teachings  and  their  subject?  In  God's  name  and  for  decency  and  con- 
sistency's sake,  let  the  record  of  New  Hampshire's  early  history  and  the 
teachings  of  the  fathers,  as  embodied  in  our  glorious  Bill  of  Rights,  be 
blotted  from  existence  and  all  memory  thereof  annihilated  beyond  all  hope 
^  of  posbible  resurrection,  before  any  degenerate  son  of  New  Hampshire  shall 
dare  breathe  the  suggestion  of  such  unparalleled  outrage.  But  the  suggest- 
ed outrage  stops  not  here.  Not  only  is  it  proposed  to  disfranchise  substan- 
tially the  whole  white  population  and  deprive  them  of  all  part  or  lot  in  the 
government,  but  by  usurping  the  right  of  ever^  sovereign  state  to  place 
the  political  power  and  the  destiny  of  the  South  in  the  hands  of  an  inferior 
and  ignorant  race,  only  one  step  advanced,  and  that  through  the  institu- 
tion of  Slavery,  from  the  lowest  ^^^^  °^  barbarism  to  repeat  here  the 
history  of  Jamaica  and  Hayti.  What  is  that  history?  I  quote  from  a 
work  recently  published  in  London,  entitled,  "The  West  Indies,  Their 
Moral  and  Social  Condition,"  the  author  of  which,  E.  B.  Underbill,  was 
sent  out  under  the  auspices  of  the  Baptist  Missionary  Society  of  London, 
and  though  a  thorough-going  Abolitionist  at  the  start  was  obliged  to  give 
the  following: 

"  We  passed  by  many  or  through  many  abandoned  plantations,  the  buUd- 
inga  in  ruin,  the  sugar  mills  decayed,  and  the  iron  pans  strewing  the  road- 
side, cracked  and  broken.  But  for  the  law  which  forbids,  on  pain  of  con- 
fiscation, the  export  of  all  metals,  they  would  long  ago  have  been  sold  to 
foreign  merchants.  Only  once  in  this  long  ride  did  we  come  upon  a  mill 
in  use,  it  was  grinding  canes  in  order  to  manufacture  the  s;^rup  from  which 
Tqfia  is  made,  a  kind  of  inferior  rum,  the  intoxicating  drink  of  the  coun- 
try.   In  the  time  of  the  French  occupation,  before  the  Revolution  of  1798,

SPEECH  OF  HON.  JOHN  6.  SINCLAIR. 


'thousands  of  hogsheads  of  sugar  were  produced,  now,  not  one.  All  it  decay 
and  desolation.  The  pastures  are  deserted,  and  the  prickly  pear  covers  the 
land  once  laughing  with  the  bright  hues  of  the  sugar  cane.  The  plow  is  an 
unknown  implement  of  culture,  although  so  eminently  adapted  to  the  great 
plains  and  deep  soil  of  Hayti.  A  country  so  capable  of  producing  for 
export,  and  therefore  for  the  enrichment  of  its  people,  besides  sugar,  and 
conee,  cotton,  tobacco,  the  castor-bean,  spices,  every  tropical  fruit  and 
many  of  the  fruits  of  Europe,  lies  uncultivated,  unoccupied,  and  desolate.  Its 
rich  mines  are  neither  explored  nor  worked,  and  its  beautiful  woods  rot  in 
the  soil  where  th"}y  grow.  A  little  logwood  is  exported,  but  ebony,  mahog- 
ony,  and  the  finest  building  timber,  rarely  fall  oefore  the  woodman's  ax, 
and  then  only  for  local  uses.  The  present  inhabitants  despise  €Ul  servile 
labor,  and  are,  for  the  most  part  content  with  the  spontaneous  productions  of 
the  soil  and  forests." 

The  degraded  barbarous  condition  of  the  negroes  of  Hayti  is  well  illus- 
trated in  a  description  given  by  Mr.  Underbill  of  what  is  known  as  "The 
religion  of  Vandoux,  or  Serpent  Worship."  The  object  worshipped  is  a 
small  green  snake,  and  the  custom  is  a  purely  African  heathenism.  The 
negro  has  always  a  predisposition  to  it. 

"The  Vandoux",  says  Mr.  Underbill,  "meet  in  a  retired  spot,  designated 
at  a  previous  meeting.  On  entering  they  take  olf  their  shoes,  and  bind 
about  their  bodies  handkerchiefs  in  which  a  red  color  predominates.  The 
King  is  known  by  the  scarlet  baud  around  his  head,  worn  like  a  crown, 
and  a  scarf  of  the  same  color  distinguishes  the  Queen.  The  object  of  the 
adoration,  the  serpent,  is  placed  on  a  stand.  It  is  then  worshipped ;  after 
which  the  box  is  placed  on  the  ground,  the  Queen  mounts  upon  it,  is  seized 
with  violent  tremblings,  and  gives  utterance  to  oracles  in  response  to  the 

Erayers  of  the  worshippers;  a  dance  closes  the  ceremony.  The  Kin^  puts 
is  head  on  the  serpents  box;  a  tremor  seizes  him  which  is  communicated 
to  the  circle.  A  delirious  whirl  or  dance  ensues,  heightened  by  the  free 
use  of  Tafia.  The  weakest  fall,  as  if  dead,  upon  the  spot.  The  bacchana- 
lian revelers,  always  dancing  and  turning  aoout,  are  borue  away  into  a 
place  near  at  hand,  where  sometimes  under  the  triple  excitement  of  pro- 
miscuous intercourse,  drunkeness  and  darkness,  scenes  are  enacted,  enough 
to  make  the  impassible  Gods  of  Africa  itself  gnash  their  teeth  with  horror." 
Such  is  the  revolting  picture  presented  by  that  race  under  the  influence 
of  emancipation  from  slavery ;  go  now  to  Africa,  from  whence  came,  a  few 
generations  back,  the  negroes  of  the  South.  Witness  the  native  population 
sitting  upon  the  sands  of  the  sea  shore,  basking  their  naked  forms  in  the 
rays  of  the  sun,  living  upon  the  spontaneous  productions  of  the  soil,  bowing 
down  to  the  worship  of  idols,  and  tell  me  if  you  men  of  New  Hampshire 
will  make  the  negro  the  political  equal,  no,  not  the  political  equal,  but 
the  political  master  of  the  white  race;  and  the  negress  the  equal,  aye» 
the  superior  of  the  unfortunate,  unoffending  white  woman  of  the  South 
and  the  very  men  who  to-day  prate  to  you  of  negro  equality  and  negro 
franchise  •  are  they  whose  party  in  New  Hampshire  was  founded  upon 
the  idea  of  depriving  Irishmen  and  foreigners  of  the'  right  of  suffrage, 
because,  as  they  claimed,  their  education  and  appreciation  of  republican 
institutions  would  not  warrant  their  being  trusted  with  the  ballot.  But 
how  is  it  proposed  to  accomplish  this  enormity,  this  absolute  destruction 
of  the  reserved  and  sacred  rights  of  the  states,  this  overthrow  of  the 
fundamental  theory  of  the  Government?  Why,  the  means  proposed  to  be 
employed  and  now  in  process  of  development  are  well  worthy  tne  object  to 
be  attained:  What  are  those  means?  Simply  the  impeachment  of  the 
President,  the  destruction  of  the  Supreme  Court,  and  the  absolute  usurpa- 
tion by  one  of  the  co-ordinate  branches  of  the  government  of  the  constitu- 
tional powers  of  the  other  two  co-ordinate  departments.    The  President^

SPEECH  OF  HON.  JOHN  6.  SINCLAIR. 


828 


bound  by  his  oath  of  office  to  presenre  this  glorious  Union,  protests  against 
its  destruction,  and  impeachment  by  reckless  partisans  stares  him  in  the 
face,  with  revolution,  its  attendant.  The  Supreme  Court  decides  that  civil 
rights  are  guaranteed  to  American  citizens,  that  test  oaths  find  no  author- 
ity in  the  Constitution,  that  trial  by  jury  is  a  sacred  right,  and  forthwith 
the  destruction  of  that  august  tribunal  is  resolved  upon  as  an  insurmount- 
able obstacle  to  the  schemes  of  mad  men,  with  whom  the  Jacobins  of 
France  would  bear  a  favorable  comparison.  What  are  the  excuses  for 
keeping  the  country  in  a  fever  of  excitement,  its  business  and  financial  in- 
terests deranged  at  home  and  abroad,  its  future  clouded,  and  the  eyes  of  the 
world  attracted  by  the  amazing  spectacle  of  the  proposed  impeacnment  of 
the  Chief  Magistrate  of  the  American  Republic.  One  or  two  brazen  men, 
shameless  with  regard  to  their  own  or  their  country's  fame,  intimate  that 
Andrew  Johnson  procured  the  assassination  of  Mr.  Lincoln.  Does  the  can- 
didate believe  this?  Does  a  man  in  Congress  or  out  believe  it?  If  he 
does,  why  are  not  the  necessary  steps  at  once  taken  for  the  arrest,  indict- 
ment, trial,  conviction,  aye,  hanging  of  Andrew  Johnson,  by  the  means 
provided  in  the  Constitution  for  the  punishment  of  crime,  whether  com- 
mitted by  the  high  or  the  humble,  the  rich  or  the  poor,  those  in  official  life 
or  in  private  life?  If  Andrew  Johnson  has  committed  murder  or  been  ac- 
cessory thereto,  he  is  as  much  answerable  to  the  law  as  the  man  who  mur- 
dered vour  Franconia  neighbor. 

At  this  point  his  time  having  expired,  Mr.  Sinclair  closed  his  speech. 

Gren.  Walter  Harriman  then  made  a  speech  after  his  peculiar,  eloquent 
and  forcible  manner,  and  at  its  conclusion  Mr.  Sinclair  closed  the  debate 
as  follows: 

In  rising  to  close  the  debate,  he  said  he  seemed  to  be  remarkably  unfortu- 
nate in  the  selection  of  questions,  which  he  had  submitted  to  his  opponent. 
The  first  of  the  series  was:  Are  you  in  favor  of  the  impeachment  of  the 
President,  and  can  vou  state  any  constitutional  clause  for  his  impeachment? 
The  gentleman  tells  you,  my  fellow  citizens,  that  it  is  a  dead  issue ;  also 
that  the  questions  of  the  reconstruction  of  the  Union,  the  denying  of  the 
right  of  the  States  to  representation  in  the  Congress  of  the  United  States, 
the  reducing[  of  States  to  the  condition  of  Territories  and  Negro  Suffrage ; 
these,  my  friends,  are  all  dead  issues.  If  that  was  true,  he  was  obliged  to 
accept  the  issue  forced  upon  him  by  the  Republican  State  Central  Commit- 
tee, and  in  doing  so  he  had  propounded  other  interrogatories  to  the  gentle- 
man, which  perhaps  were  not  dead,  but  on  the  contrary  were  altogether  too 
lively  for  the  gentleman.  He  did  not  believe  the  fact  of  his  nomination  for 
governor  by  the  Radical  party  a  sufficient  reply  to  the  charges  made  by  as 
brave  and  as  truthful  an  officer  as  ever  trod  the  field  of  battle,  who  had  his 
arm  shot  off  at  Williamsburg,  and  who  sa^d  to  the  Governor  and  Council; 
"If  you  will  allow  me  to  lay  the  evidence  before  vou,  if  I  do  not  prove  every 
one  of  these  charges  and  specifications  to  be  strictly  true,  I  will  agree  that 
my  remaining  arm  be  severed  from  my  body."  The  only  assumption  that 
can  be  made  is  that  every  charge  is  literally  true. 

The  gentleman  says  the  Democratic  party  of  New  Hampshire  is  disloyal. 
Disloyal  to  what?  To  the  Constitution?  There  is  not  a  clause  of  tnat 
sacred  instrument  that  they  are  not  ready  to  swear  with  uplifted  hands  to 
support  and  obey.  Is  it  to  the  Union?  There  is  not  a  state  from  Canada 
to  the  gulf,  or  between  the  shores  of  either  ocean,  which  their  patriotism  is 
not  broad  enough  to  embrace;  its  dead  repose  on  every  battlefield  of  the 
Union.  Who  of  the  many  officers  who  went  forth  from  New  Hampshire 
was  best  entitled  to  be  called  the  bravest  of  the  brave?  Who  first  in  the 
deadly  charge  —  last  in  retreat?  What  recent  monument  in  our  midst,  in- 
scribed with  the  names  of  twelve  battles,  points  most  proudly  to  heaven? 
What  manly  form,  scarred  by  eleven  wounds  rests  beneath  it?    A  New

SI'EEGIl   OP   HON.   JOHN   G.   SINCLAIR. 


Hampshire  Democrat;  in  the  language  of  the  candidate  here,  a  New  Hamp- 
shire Copperhead,  Col.  Edward  £.  Cross.  I^t  the  candidate  ^o  stand  by 
that  monument,  read  the  record  there  inscribed — compare  it  with  his  own, 
then  tell  us  when  and  where  he  earned  the  right  to  denounce  the  party  to 
which  he,  to  the  hour  of  h<s  death,  was  proud  to  belong.  That  party  to 
which  the  candidate  himself  at  its  State  Convention  of  1861,  after  the  se- 
cession of  some  of  the  states  in  the  exuberance  of  his  love  exclaimed  in 
the  language  of  Ruth  to  Naomi:  "Entreat  me  not  to  leave  thee,  nor  return 
from  following  after  thee ;  for  whither  thou  goest  will  I  go ;  where  thou 
lodgest  will  I  lodge ;  thy  people  shall  be  my  people,  and  thy  God  my  God ; 
where  thou  diest  will  I  die,  and  there  will  I  be  ouried;  the  Lord  do  so  to 
me  and  more  also  i'  aught  but  death  part  me  and  thee."  While  in  the 
same  breath  he  exclaimed  that  the  secession  which  had  already  taken  place 
was  the  inevitable  result  of  the  Constitutional  and  damnable  heresies  of 
the  Republican  party  which,  when  predicted  by  him,  they  had  laughed  to 
scorn,  but  that  levity  upon  such  an  occasion  struck  upon  his  ears  uke  the 
laughter  of  the  inebriate  at  the  bed  of  death,  or  the  fiddling  of  Nero  at  the 
burning  of  Rome. 

The  candidate  tells  us  that  the  Constitutional  Amendment  is  a  proposi- 
tion for  reconstruction.  By  whom  has  that  proposition  ever  been  made, 
and  what  guarantee  has  the  South  ^haX  it  will  be  restored  to  its  Constitu- 
tional rights,  even  though  that  amf  ndment  be  adopted?  None  whatever. 
Even  now.  Philips  and  Sumner  and  their  coadjutors  proclaim  that  amend- 
ment to  be  unsatisfactory.  See  how  it  stands,  when  the  ravages  of  the  war 
were  at  the  worst  thev  were  told:  "You  bring  your  inflictions  upon  your- 
selves, you  have  nothing  to  do  but  lay  down  your  arms,  disband  your 
armies,  return  to  vour  peaceful  avocations,  acknowledge  the  authority  of 
the  Government  of  the  United  States,  and  resume  ^our  place  as  States  in 
the  Union,  clothed  with  all  your  rights,  and  secure  in  all  your  privileges." 

This  language  was  used  not  only  by  the  President,  but  substantially  by 
both  houses  of  Congress,  and  with  these  declarations  fresh  their  arms  were 
laid  down,  purposes  of  obedience  to  the  Constitution  and  laws  of  the 
United  States  were  declared,  ordinances  of  secession  were  repealed.  The 
condition  not  suggested  by  Mr.  Lincoln,  but  required  by  the  present  Presi- 
dient  to  be  fulfilled,  was  complied  with :  Slavery  was  abolished,  the  rebel 
debt  repudiated,  and  now,  with  ruin  and  want  in  every  hamlet,  when  they 
claim  tne  right  of  representation  by  loyal  men  in  Congress,  they  are  told 
that  they  have  no  right  to  participate  in  its  deliberations,  to  present  their 
wants,  or  speak  of  their  woes.    Mr.  Sinclair  closed  in  the  following  words: 

Men  of  New  Hampshire,  who  come  from  beneath  the  shadows  of  those 
mighty  hills  to  which  the  patriotism  of  your  fathers  gave  the  names  of 
Washington,  of  Jefferson,  of  Madison,  oi  Monroe,  of  Webster  and  Cla^, 
will  you  endorse  such  intrinsic  wrong  and  flagrant  fraud  as  this?  Will 
you  not  rather  swear  that  so  long  as  your  eyes  shall  l)e  permitted  to  behold 
one  green  tree  growing  upon  their  bases,  or  a  living  stream  come  leaping 
from  their  sides,  so  long  will  you  be  true  to  the  Constitution  and  the 
Union  as  our  fathers  made  them. 

Three  cheers  were  then  given  for  the  Union  and  the  crowd  disjiersed.

OTHER    SINKLERS,    SINCLAIRS,    AND    ST.    CLAIRS    OF    NEW 
HAMPSHIRE,    MAINE,    AND   VERMONT. 

1952.  Charles  Sinkler's  name  appears  among  the  soldiers  of  New 
Hampshire.  In  the  roll  of  Col.  Shadrach  Walton's  men  the  name 
is  spelled  Sinkler,  "  The  account  is  for  sixty  men  from  .luly  21  to 
Nov.  8,  and  for  ten  men  from  that  time  to  Nov.  14.  The  year  was 
not  mentioned  but  it  was  probably  1710,  on  the  expedition  f^ainst 
Port  Royal,  which  resulted  in  the  capture  of  that  place." 

SINKI.ERS  OF  NEW  HAMPSHIRE. 

1953.  George  Sinkler*.  The  indications  are  that  he  was  a  near 
connection  of  the  Exeter  family,  and  was  probably  a  son  of  James 
Sinkler*,  No.  7,  or  John  Sinkler",  No.  20.  Kom  as  early  as  1707,  as 
he  was  doing  bnsiness  in  1728,  and  was  presumably  21  years  of  age. 
He  first  appears  upon  the  records  as  of  Exeter,  N.  H.,  Sept.  17, 
1728,  when  he  contracted  to  settle  upon  and  carry  on  land  in  Not- 
tingham, N.  H.,  belonging  to  Aaron  Morrill  of  Salisbury,  Mass., 
for  which  he  received  a  deed  of  said  Morrill  of  ten  acres  of  land  in 
Nottingham.  He  was  a  resident  in  that  town  on  Jan.  8,  1733-34, 
when  he  sold  40  acres  of  land  there  to  Nathaniel  Oilman.  He  had 
lots  Nos.  38  and  40,  in  King  street.  On  May  8,  1734,  "  now  of 
Exeter,"  be  bought  land  in  Exeter  of  John  McCrelis.  He  was  a 
resident  of  Haverhill,  Mass.,  on  July  21,  1743,  when  he  purchased 
one-third  of  two  hundred  acres  in  Nottingham  of  Aaron  Morrill  of 
Salisbury,  Mass.,  the  original  right  of  James  Calfe.  He  was  of 
Kingston,  N.  H.,  Nov.  28,  1761,  when  he  purchased  land  in  Hamp- 
stead,  N.  H.,  of  David  and  Mehitabel  Hale.  By  trade  he  was 
called  "Tayler."  He  resided  in  Harapstead  till  his  death,  which 
occurred  between  April  10  and  May  27,  1767,  as  his  will  was  made 
on  the  former,  and  probated  on  the  latter  date.  He  married  Han- 
nah   ,  who  survived  him. 

CHILDREN. 

1954.  Sarah  Sinkler* ;  was  unmarried  at  his  death,  and  was  to  inherit  one- 

half  of  his  dwelling  house  and  lands  at  her  mother's  decease. 

1955.  Hannah  Sinkler^;  m.  March  31,  1767,  in  Hampstead,  N.  H.,  Moses 

Poor  of  Plalstow,  where  they  lived.

JOHN  ST.  CLAIR  OP  STRAFFORD,  VT. 

1967.  John  St.  Clair*  of  Strafford,  Vt.,  was  without  question  an 
offshoot  of  the  New  Hampshire  family  of  that  name.  There  is 
strong  reason  for  supposing  that  he  was  a  son  of  Ettenezer  Sinclair, 
the  martyr  soldier  of  the  Revolution  (see  No.  129),  though  there  is 
no  positive  evidence.  He  had  land  deeded  to  him  in  Strafford  by 
Ashael  Chamberlain.  In  personal  appearance  he  was  tall,  straight, 
and  finely  proportioned.  His  date  of  birth  was  Jan.  18,  1778,  and 
he  died  in  Burlington,  Vt.,  July  4,  1817,  and  is  buried  there.  Mrs. 
St.  Clair  was  Rboda  Merrill^  a  sister  of  John  Merrill  of  Claremont, 
N.  H.  They  were  mamed  Sept.  18,  1797.  She  was  born  Oct.  14, 
1777.  After  Mr.  St.  Clair's  death  she  married  for  her  2d  husband, 
Oct.  18,  1817,  Simeon  Green.  Her  death  occurred  May  31,  1844. 
Her  children  by  2d  marriage  were:  Alpha  Green,  bom  Jan.  30, 
1819;  married  June  4,  1849,  Samuel  H.  Bachelder,  and  died  Sept. 
20,  1866.  Alba  Greene,  bom  Nov.  19,  1820;  married  Aug.  26, 
1844,  Apphia  Clogston.  He  was  a  Union  soldier,  and  died  in  the

ROBERT  SINKLER,   OF  WELLS,   ME.

CHAPTER  IX. 


ROBERT  SINKIiER  OF  WELLS,  ME.,  AND  HIS  DESCENDANTS. 

1989.  Robert  Sinklcr,  in  the  old  records,  was  an  early  resident  of 
Wells,  Me.  The  relationship  which  existed  l)ctwcen  )iim  and  John 
Sinkler  the  first  of  Exeter,  N.  H.,  is  not  known.  It  is  probable 
that  he  was  a  son  of  the  aforesaid  John  of  Exeter,  although  there 
has  been  found  no  evidence  of  this  in  any  will  or  other  record. 
Many  wills  and  deeds  in  former  times  were  never  recorded  at  the 
county  ottlces,  and  were  ultimately  lost,  it  was  not  an  uncommon 
thing  for  one  to  deed  to  his  sou  in  land  what  he  considered  would  be 
that  son's  poi-tion  of  his  estate,  and  then  make  no  mention  of  said 
son  in  his  will.  This  may  have  been  the  case  with  John  Sinkler  of 
Exeter,  in  relation  to  Robert  Sinkler  of  Wells,  Me.  The  distance 
between  the  places  was  not  great,  many  citizens  of  Exeter  had  set- 
tled in  Wells,  and  the  latter  place  was  an  outlet  for  the  older  settle- 
ment, and  furnished  a  home  for  its  surplus  inhabitants  and  sons  of 
its  older  residents.  There  it  was  that  Rev.  John  Wheelwright  and 
his  colony  found  a  refuge  when  they  fled  from  Exeter.  The  com- 
munication between  tiie  citizens  of  the  two  towns,  as  evidenced  upon 
the  records,  was  very  close  and  intimate,  and  transfers  of  land  from 
tlie  citizens  of  one  town  to  the  citizens  of  the  other  were  continu- 
ally luking  place.  It  is  not  unlikely,  indeed  it  is  extremely  proba- 
ble, that  Robert  Sinkler  of  Wells  had  received  land  there  as  his 
part  of  his  inheritance,  although  such  deed  of  conveyance  may  not 
be  on  record.  Inhere  are  several  evidences  of  close  relationship 
between  John  Sinkler  of  Exeter  and  his  supposed  son,  Robert  Sin- 
kler of  Wells.  The  age  of  the  latter  was  right  for  him  to  be  a  son 
of  the  former.  The  same  christian  names  have  for  generations  been 
perpetuated  in  either  branch ;  the  habits,  customs,  and  occupations 
of  persons  of  the  two  lines  have  been  lacgely  the  same,  and  at  this 
day  there  is  a  strong  family  resemblance  between  representatives  of 
the  diverged  and  diverging  lines. 

From  the  earliest  record  John  Sinkler  of  Exeter  was  a  pioneer, 
and  struck  out  upon  the  frontier  of  civilization,  and  through  all  gen- 
erations to  the  present,  his  descendants  have  been  pioneers,  and 
liave  loved  frontier  life.  Many  of  them  have  been  mechanics,  the 
owners  of  sawmills,  and  other  kinds  of  manufactories.     It  seemed

Sinkler  of  Kxeter,  and  himself  a  native  of  that  town,  was  an  owner 
of  laud,  and  a  resident  of  Wells,  Me.,  \u  172'.».  Ko»K!rt  Sinkler, 
his  supposed  un<'lo,  was  there  much  earlier,  altiiough  the  records  do 
not  state  the  exact  time.  Ho  was  there  early  in  its  history,  for  that 
town  in  a  pul)lic  town  meeting  on  March  IH,  1812-14,  voted  him  a 
grant  of  100  aci-es,  and  10  acres  of  meatlow.  The  latter  remained 
in  the  possession  of  his  family  until  May  20,  17;U,  when  it  was  sold 
by  his  son.  Whom  he  married  is  not  known.  Ho  died  previous  to 
April  28,  1718,  and  on  Dec.  10,  1734,  his  sou  in  a  deed  alludes  to 

him  as  "  late  of  Wells,  deceased."     His  wife  was  Elizabeth , 

who  on  April  28,  1718,  married  2d  Peter  Rich  of  Wells,  and  several 
times  in  deeds  she  aud  her  husband  relinquished  power  of  thirds  and 
right  of  dower  in  Robert  Sinkler's  land.

1991.  John  Sinkler' [1990]  (Robert*).  He  was  born  as  early  as 
1713,  probably  in  Wells,  Me.,  as  he  deeded  land  May  20,  1734,  and 
must  have  been  of  age.  He  was  a  resident  of  Wells,  Me.,  in  what  is 
now  Kennebunk,  near  the  old  Larrabee  (iarrison  on  the  bank  of  the 
Mousam  river.  In  an  old  deed  he  is  called  cordwainer.  On  May 
20,  1734,  aud  Dec.  23,  the  same  year,  he  deeded  away  land  which 
had  belonged  to  his  father.  He  bought  land  and  two-thirds  of  a

•Rye,  Normandy,  France,  hi  1046  and  curlier,  was  the  place  where 
Hubert  Sinclair  and  his  gtalwurt  sons  lived  in  a  strong  castle. 

Rye,  Sussex  co.,  England,  twenty  years  later,  and  after  the  Conquest  in 
106«,  had  received  its  name  by  the  Sinclairs  for  the  old  Norman  home,  and 
was  the  abode  of  a  brother  ot  Hubert's,  Hamo  Sinclair,  who  built  its  castle, 
and  of  his  famous  sun  Robert  Sinclair,  who  fortified  and  strengthened  it. 

Rye,  Rockingham  co.,  New  Hampshire,  U.  S.,  sir  centuries  later,  took 
its  name  from  the  Knglish  town.  Two  and  one-fourth  centuries  later  and 
843  years  after  the  first  union,  still  the  name  of  Rye  and  Sinclair  were 
again  associated  as  Hon.  Charles  A.  Sinclair  represented  Rye,  N.  H  ,  in 
the  Senate  of  New  Hampshire. 

The  situation  of  these  towns  is  similar  in  some  respects.  Rye,  Nor- 
mandy, France,  is  near  the  sounding  sea,  but  the  castle  has  vanished  away. 
Rve,  England,  was  one  of  the  Cinque  ports,  the  nearest  sailing  point  to 
France  While  in  the  quaint  old  city,  on  the  side  of  a  hill,  the  old  castle 
the  home  of  the  Sinclairs  still  stonds.  Rye,  New  Hampshire,  U.  S.,  is  on 
the  sea  coast,  and  the  entire  length  of  the  town  is  washed  by  the  briny 
waves  of  the  Atlantic  ocean.

after  removed  to  Koston,  Mass.,  where  on  Aug.  19,  I74N,  ho  sold 
land  in  Arundell,  Mo.  He  had  military  experience  like  most  of  the 
Sinclairs,  and  volunteered  as  a  soldier  from  Wells,  Me.,  under  Capt. 
John  Storer,  and  was  in  the  expedition  which  captured  Louisburg 
on  June  28th,  174.5.  This  was  the  strongest  fortress  on  the  conti- 
nent. The  troops  sailed  from  Hoston,  Mass.,  March  24,  174.'i,  and 
forty-nine  days  were  spent  in  the  reduction  of  the  place.  Was

worship  of  God  on  the  Lord's  day  for  six  months,  from  Jau.  1, 
1749,"  ho  was  brought  before  the  court  and  fined.  He  lived  in 
Arundell,  Me.,  until  about  1770,  when  he  removed  fr«mi  the  town, 
or  died,  probably  the  latter.  He  married  April  19,  1739,  Mary

in  Lisbon,  Me.,  about  1760,  and  was  among  the  earliest  settlers  of 
that  town.  At  that  period  it  was  a  wilderness,  thickly  wooded, 
with  no  roads,  and  none  of  the  appurtenances  of  civilized  life.  His 
nearest  neighbor  lived  several  miles  away.  That  neighbor  was  old 
Master  Bibber,  and  his  wife  and  Mrs.  Sinkler  often  exchanged  visits, 
going  back  and  forth  through  the  forests,  finding  their  way  by 
marked  or  blazed  trees.  The  nearest  gristmill  was  fifteen  miles 
away,  at  Bath,  Me.,  and  to  that  mill  Mr.  Sinkler  frequently  went 
caiTying  a  bushel  of  corn  upon  his  back  to  be  ground,  and  bringing 
it  back  to  his  home  in  the  same  manner.  He  took  his  land  in  its 
wild  state  and  made  a  highly  productive  and  beautiful  farm.  It  was 
situated  iu  the  north  pait  of  the  town,  six  miles  from  Lisbon  Falls, 
and  is  still  known  as  the  Sinclair  homestead.  Mr.  Sinkler,  his 
descendants  say,  was  a  son  of  John  Sinkler  of  Wells  and  Arun- 
dell, Me. ,  which  appears  to  be  a  correct  statement.  He  was  not  a 
religious  man  till  a  few  years  before  his  death,  when  he  was  convert- 
ed and  became  an  earnest  and  devoted  follower  of  the  Master. 
Thrice  each  day  did  prayer  ascend  to  the  Heavenly  Father.  He 
married  Elizabeth  Joy,  and  she  and  her  husband  were  members  of 
the  Baptist  church.  He  died  when  about  90  years  of  age.  Mrs. 
Sinkler  died  when  about  75  years  of  age.  They  died  and  are  buried 
in  Lisbon,  Me.

River  Village,  now  Lisbon  Falls.  He  had  an  interest  in  a  sawmill, 
and  later  owned  a  shingle  and  clapboard  mill,  and  transacted  business 
till  they  were  destroyed  by  fire  in  1852.  After  this  heavy  loss  he 
engaged  in  the  grocery  trade  at  East  Auburn,  Me.,  for  three  years, 
when  he  purchased  a  small  farm  in  his  native  town,  where  he  lived

family,  and  for  them  any  sacrifice  was  cheerfully  made.  He  was 
noted  for  his  kindness  and  generosity,  and  possessed  rare  qualities  of 
mind  and  heart  which  drew  men  to  him.  During  his/  last  years  he 
dwelt  beneath  the  shadows,  and  his  mind  was  oppressed  with  melan- 
choly, from  which  he  could  with  difficulty  arouse  himself,  except 
when  he  realized  that  it  caused  sadness  to  others.  Mrs.  Sinclair 
resides  East  Rochester,  N.  H.

2080.  Everett  Mosea  Sinclair*  [2058]  (Moses*,  John*,  Adoniram*, 
John',  Robert').  He  was  born  in  Lisbon,  Me,  Aug.  16,  1848.  He 
received  a  common  school  education,  and  in  1863  entered  the  employ 
of  the  Androscoggin  mills  at  Lewistou,  Me.,  as  picker  boy. 
Was  afterwards  in  the  Worumbo  Woolen  mills  of  Lisbon  Falls, 
Me.,  and  in  1867  he  accepted  a  position  in  the  Pondicherry 
mills,  at  Bridgton,  Me. 

In  1872  he  took  charge  of  the  weaving  in  the  Cocheco  Woolen 
mills.  East  Rochester,  N.  H.  Was  subsequently  employed  at  Antes 
Fort,  Lycoming  co.,  Penn.,  and  at  the  Knowles  Loom  works  at 
Worcester,  Mass.  In  1884  he  was  elected  superintendent  of  the 
Cocheco  mills  at  East  Rochester,  N.  H.,  which  position  he  still  holds. 
His  life  has  been  one  of  close  attention  to  business,  and  his  suc- 
cess has  been  won  by  honesty,  steadfastness  of  purpose,  and  that 
persistency  which  usually  merits  and  generally  brings  success. 

In  1873  ho  united  with  the  Methodist  Episcopal  church  and  has 
taken  a  deep  interest  in  the  moral  welfare  of  all.  Was  superin- 
tendent of  the  Sunday  school  for  several  years.  He  has  served  his 
town  some  time  as  a  member  of  the  Hoard  of  Education,  having  the 
supervision  of  the  public  schools.  In  politics,  a  Republican.  He  has 
written  many  articles  upon  mechanical  and  local  historical  subjects. 
He  is  a  member  of  the  Masonic  order. 

He  married  Jan.  30,  1870,  Eleanor  Perry  Hill.  She  was  daughter 
of  John  and  Helen  (Stavart)  Hill  of  Langholm,  Scotland,  of  which 
place  her  father  was  a  native.  She  was  bom  July  5,  1848,  in  Sel- 
kirk, Scotland.  Langholm,  the  home  of  her  parents,  is  a  most 
romantic  town  of  3,000  people.  Its  streets  are  narrow,  the  murmur- 
ing Esk  flows  through  it,  and  high  and  wooded  hills  and  mountains 
almost  shut  it  in  from  the  outside  world.  It  is  near  the  English  bor- 
der, in  a  section  of  country  picturesque  and  beautiful,  and  made  for- 
ever famous  as  the  scene  of  border  exploits.  Only  a  short  distance 
away  were  the  Hollows  Tower  and  the  place  where  stood  the  castle  of 
"  Gilnockie  "  Armstrong,  the  famous  chief  of  his  clan,  the  Robin 
Hood  of  the  border,  whose  fame  still  flourishes  in  the  Scotian  song. 
In  a  valuable  museum,  filled  with  many  relics  of  bygone  centuries,  is 
the  long,  ungainly  sword,  "  Gilnockie  ".  In  this  town  and  charming 
locality,  where  every  foot  of  territory  is  historic,  the  first  five  years 
of  Mrs.  Sinclair's  life  were  spent. 

Then  her  parents  came  to  America;  were  for  a  time  in 
New  York  City,  then  in  Ontario,  Richland  co.,  Ohio,  where  her 
mother  died  Feb.  15,  1861,  when  her  father  removed  to  Dexter, 
Me.  In  1865,  while  living  with  an  aunt  in  Bridgton,  Me.,  Isabella 
Fail-grieve,  she  married  Mr.  Sinclair.  She  died  April  21,  1878, 
leaving  two  children.  He  married  2d,  May  23, 1880,  Cai-rie  Mary, 
daughter  of  Charles  Edwin  (son  of  John  Manson)  and  Mary  Ann 
(Fobs)  Manson,  who  was  born  at  Roche  '  ,  N.  H.,  June  5,  1859. 
She  lived  with  her  parents  in  Wolfboroufe,  ,  N.  H.,  and  was  edu- 
cated at  the  academy  in  that  place.     In  1878  her  parents  removed  to

JOHN  SINCLAIR  OF  VIRGINIA  AND  HIS  DESCENDANTS. 

2124.  John  Sinclair',  the  founder  of  this  branch  of  the  Sinclair 
family,  was  a  Scotchman  and  came  to  the  American  colonies  in  1747 
with  the  families  of  Douglass,  McDonald,  Shepherd,  and  others. 
They  were  political  exiles.  They  had  united  their  destinies  with  the 
house  of  Stuart,  and  when  the  fortunes  of  that  family  went  down  in 
darkness  and  in  blood  on  the  terrible  field  of  Culloden  Moor,  April 
16,  1746,  their  native  country  was  no  longer  a  place  of  safety,  and 
they  tted  to  America,  for  the  victorious  King  George  II.  showed  no 
mercy  to  his  adversaries. 

Mr.  Sinclair  located  near  Leesburg,  Va.,  on  the  Potomac  river. 
He  was  a  planter  and  led  a  life  of  quietness,  sobriety,  and  honesty. 
The  name  of  his  wife  is  not  known.  His  family  was  large,  and  he 
died  upon  his  estate  about  the  year  1800.  The  larger  part  of  the 
members  of  the  family  in  Virginia  are  members  of  the  Baptist  church, 
while  those  who  reside  in  Illinois  are  members  of  the  Methodist 
Episcopal  church.

JOHN  SINCLAIH  OF  NEW   YOllK. 

2193.  John  Sinclair» ;  was  JirM  vailed  Peter.  His  mother  died 
when  he  was  quite  young.  His  father's  Christian  name  not  known ; 
married  again  and  tliey  had  one  daughter.  I'eter  Sinclair  was  bound 
out  to  service  when  quite  young,  and  was  treated  so  unkindly  by  the 
people  with  whom  he  lived'  tliat  he  ran  away  from  them  and  to  escape 
detection  changed  his  name  to  .lohn  Sinclair,  by  which  lie  was  ever 
after  known.  He  was  a  soldier  in  the  war  of  1812.  Tradition  says 
that  he  was  born  in  New  Hampshire,  and  that  his  father,  whose  name 
is  said  to  be  John  Sinclair,  with  a  brother  came  from  Scotland,  and 
lived  in  New  j^..mpshire.  This  John  Sinclair  served  in  or  through 
the  Revolutionary  War — according  to  tradition.  Appearances  (but 
no  proof)  indicate  that  he  was  a  descendant  of  John  Sinclair  of 
Exeter,  N.  H.,  and  it  is  not  improbable  that  he  was  an  offshoot  of  one 
of  those  New  Hampshire  Sinclairs  who  migrated  to  Essex,  Vt.,  and 
vicinity,  of  some  of  whose  sous  we  have  no  account. 

The  subject  of  this  sketch  married  Phebe,  daughter  of  Major 
Quigley  of  the  Revolutionary  army,  a  resident,  perhaps,  of  Trenton, 
N.  J.,  and  had  nineteen  children,  fifteen  of  whom  lived  to  mature 
life,  married,  and  had  families.  Mr.  Sinclair  lived  in  Allegheny 
CO.,  N.  Y.,  and  in  Seneca  county,  and  other  places.  Mrs.  Sinclair 
died  in  Branch  co,,  Mich.  He  was  a  farmer,  and  died  in  Allegheny

HISTORY    OP   GEN.    ARTHUR    ST.   CLAIR    AND    HIS 
DESCENDANTS. 

2229.  Gen.  Arthur  St.  Clair'*  was  born  hi  ThurBO,  county  of 
CaithnesH,  Scotland,  March  23,  17i)H.  In  tlmt  mout  nortliorn 
town  of  the  mainland  of  Scotland,  swept  by  some  of  the  fiercest  and 
cliillicst  of  ocean  winds,  he  spent  the  years  of  his  childhwxl  and 
youth.  "  His  father,  being  a  younger  son,  possessed  neither  lands  nor 
title,  and  died  at  an  early  age  from  tiie  effects  of  a  life  of  idleness 
and  plcjiHure."  In  his  other  parent  (whose  maiden  name  is  believed 
to  h.ivo  been  Murray)  Arthur  -St.  Clair  was  more  fortunate,  as  she 
supplied  not  only  the  affection  and  tender  care  of  a  devoted  mother, 
but  also  the  aid  and  counsel  which  had  been  due  from  the  father. 

He  was  educated  at  the  university  of  Kdinburgh,  Scotland ;  was 
indentured  to  the  famous  physician.  Dr.  William  (or  John)  Hunter 
of  London,  but  inheriting  the  martial  spirit  of  his  race,  he  abandoned 
medicine.  His  mother  died  in  the  winter  of  1856-57,  and  immedi- 
ately after  he  purchased  a  commission  as  Ensign  in  the  Royal 
regiment  of  Foot,  bearing  date  of  May  13,  1757.  He  was  then 
twenty-one  years  of  age.  He  came  to  America  with  Admiral  Edward 
lioscawen's  fleet.  He  served  under  Gen.  Jeffrey  Amherst  at  the 
capture  of  Louisburg,  July  26,  1728,  and  under  Gen.  James  Wolfe 
at  Quebec,  Sept.  30,  1758,  and  under  the  latter  commander  iu 
tlie  victorious  battle  on  the  Plains  of  Abraham,  Sept.  13,  1759. 
He  was  made  a  lieutenant  April  17,  1759,  which  position  he  resigned 
April  16,  1762. 

After  the  siege  of  Quebec  he  obtained  a  furlough  and  repaired  to 
Boston,  Mass.  He  had  formed  an  attachment  to  Miss  Phebe,  daugh- 
ter of  Balthazar  and  Mary  (Bowdoin)  Bayard.  Her  mother  was  a 
half-sister  of  Gov.  James  Bowdoin,  and  granddaughter  of  James 
Bowdoin,  a  wealthy  citizen. 

•His  father  was  William  Sinclair  of  Thurso,  Scotland,  son  of  James  of 
Thurso,  son  of  James  Second  of  Assery.  son  of  John  First  of  Assery,  son 
of  Jnnies  First  of  Murkle,  son  of  John  Master  of  Cakhness,  son  of  George 
Sinclair,  Fourth  Earl  of  Caithness  See  pedigree,  No.  89,  pp.  43-44,  by 
which  his  ancestors  are  traced  for  more  than  a  thousand  years  to  Rogen- 
wald.

Ligonier  valley  of  weHtern  Peunnylvaniu,  where  several  Seoteh  fanii- 
lieH  of  eonnequence  Inid  already  nettled.  Here  he  had  a  great  tract 
of  land  «)f  10,HH1  acren,  8,270  acres  lying  in  Weutnioreland  county. 
(From  the  St.  Clair  paperu,  pp.  7  and  H.) 

On  May  21,  17()(>,  lie  and  hin  wife  were  living  in  St.  Mary's  cc, 
Md.  They  returned  to  PennHylvania,  and  he  tilled  various  ofticeH. 
On  April  5,  1770,  he  was  appointed  surveyor  for  district  of  Cuml)er- 
land,  and  a  member  of  the  (iovernor's  council  the  same  year.  After 
177!>  he  lived  at  Plattatown,  Penn.,  for  several  years. 

At  the  opening  of  the  Itevolution  he  was  appointed  Colonel  in 
December,  177;"*,  in  the  American  army.  On  Jan.  3,  1776,  he 
became  Colonel  of  the  2d  Penu.  regiment,  and  being  ordered  to 
Canada,  joined  (ien.  tlohn  Sullivan  after  the  disastrous  affair  ut 
Three  Rivers,  and  aided  in  saving  the  American  army  from  capture. 
On  March  i),  177G,  he  was  made  Krigadier-geueral,  and  joined 
General  Washington  in  Noveml)er,  and  was  appointed  to  organize 
the  New  .Jersey  militia,  and  participated  in  the  battles  of  Trenton 
and  Princeton;  On  the  lS)th  of  February,  1777,  he  was  appointed 
Major-general.  He  succeeded  Gen.  Horatio  Gates  in  command  at 
Fort  Ticonderoga.  This  place  he  subsequently  evacuated.  As 
General  IJurgoyne  bore  down  upon  him  with  a  sujierior  force,  a 
part  of  his  force  was  attacked  and  defeated  at  Hubbardston  July 
7,  1777.     His  reverses  were  a  serious  loss  to  our  cause  and  deep 

*Gen.  St.  Clair  was  by  marriage  a  nephew  of  Gov.  James  Bowdoin  of 
MuBsachusetts,  as  his  wife's  mother,  Mary  (Bowdoin)  Bayard,  was  a  half- 
sister  of  the  Governor.  The  latter  had  an  only  son,  Hon.  James  Bowdoin, 
the  diplomatist,  and  an  only  daughter,  Elizabeth  Bowdoin,  who  married 
Sir  John  Temple,  bart,  and  had  two  sons  and  two  daughters.  Her  eldest 
daughter,  Elizabeth  Bowdoin  Temple,  married  in  1786,  Hon.  Lindall  Win- 
throp  of  Boston,  Mass.,  and  had  a  very  numerous  family,  of  whom  the  late 
Hon.  Kobert  C.  VVinthrop  of  Boston  was  the  youngest,  and  was  long  the 
only  surviving  son.  Thus  the  wife  of  General  St.  Clair  was  an  own  cousin 
of  Mrs.  Sir  John  Temple,  the  grandmother  of  Hon.  Kobert  C.  Winthrop  of 
Boston.  The  latter,  many  years  ago,  found  among  the  papers  of  Gov.  Bow- 
doin, a  letter  of  General  St.  Clair,  written  to  the  Governor  in  1777.  It  is 
one  of  interest,  and  published  in  the  Proceedings  of  the  Massachusetts 
Historical  Society  in  1803.  (From  a  personal  letter  of  Hon.  Robert  C.

cimgrin  to  (leneral  Washington.  He  remained  with  the  army,  and 
lit  the  battle  of  Brandywine,  Sept.  11,  1777,  he  iieted  iin  voluntary 
aid  to  (teneral  WuHhington.  In  a  court  martini  he  was  lionortiMy 
a(>(|uitted  of  all  eluirgoH  against  him.  He  arisiHted  (ienernl  Sullivan 
in  preparing  his  expedition  against  the  Indians.  Was  u  member  of 
the  coint  martial  which  convicted  Major  Andre,  lie  coinmiinded  at 
West  Point  in  17^0,  and  aided  in  17H1  iu  suppressing  the  nuitiny  in 
the  Pennsylvania  troops.  He  joined  Washington  at  Vorktown  just 
previous  to  Cornwallis'  surrender.  In  November  nf  that  year  he  was 
uuide  connnander  of  a  body  of  troops;  joined  (Jen.  Nathaniel  (ireene, 
and  was  in  the  South  till  17N'2. 

lie  was  u  delegate  to  the  Continental  Congress  from  Nov.  2,  l7Hr», 
to  Nov.  2M,  17«7,  and  its  president  in  17M7.  In  17H!)  he  was  made 
(Governor  of  the  Xorthwestern  Territory  and  serv-'d  till  1802.  The 
liist  words  of  Washington  on  his  departure  were:  "Beware  of  a 
surprise."  He  uuvde  a  treaty  with  the  Indians  at  Fort  Hainar  iu 
17H(»,  and  in  17y()  he  fixed  the  seat  of  justice  of  the  territory  at 
Cincinnati,  Ohio,  which  he  named  after  the  Society  of  the  Cincin- 
nati, of  which  he  was  president  of  the  Pennsylvania  branch  from 
17M;itol7«y. 

He  was  appointed  commander-in-chief  of  the  army  that  was  oper- 
ating against  the  Indians  on  jVIarch  4,  1701,  anil  moved  against  the 
enemy  on  the  Miami  and  Wabash  rivers,  sutTering  so  severely  with 
that  aristocratic  disease,  the  gout,  that  he  had  to  be  carrieil  on  a 
litter.  He  was  surprised  near  the  Miami  villages  on  November  4th 
and  his  force  was  defeated  by  the  savages  under  Blue  Jacket,  Little 
Turtle,  and  Simon  Girty,  the  renegade.  Washington  refused  a  court 
of  inquiry,  and  on  the  5th  of  March  (ieneral  St.  Clair  resigned  his 
<>onunission,  but  a  committee  of  Congress  exonerated  him  from  all 
blame  for  his  disaster. 

President  Thomas  Jefferson  removed  him  from  the  governorship 
Nov.  22,  1802.  He  retired  to  a  small  log  house  on  the  sunmiit  of 
Chestnut  Ridge,  Penn.,  where  the  rest  of  his  life  was  spent  in  poverty. 
He  endeavored  in  vain  to  effect  a  settlement  of  his  claims  against 
the  government.  In  1813  the  Legislature  of  Pennsylvania  gave  him 
an  annuity  of  $400,  and  a  short  time  previous  to  his  death  he  received 
82,000  from  Congress,  in  discharge  of  his  claims,  and  a  pension  of 
$60  per  month. 

He  published  "A  Narrative  of  the  Manner  in  which  the  Campaign 
against  the  Indians  in  the  Year  1791  was  Conducted  under  the  Com- 
mand of  Maj.-Gen.  St.  Clair,  with  his  Observations  on  the  State- 
ments of  the  Secretary  of  War."     (Philadelphia,  1812.) 

He  was  now  an  old  man.  His  once  valuable  properly  had  largely 
melted  away;  "  It  was  forced  to  a  sale,  and  the  old  soldier  and  his 
family  were  reduced  to  want.  In  a  log  house  on  a  bleak  ridge  by 
the  side  of  the  old  state  road  from  Bedford  to  Pittsburg,  and  almost 
in  sight  of  the  broad  acres  which  once  were  his,  Lewis  Cass  found 
him  at  the  age  of  four  score  supporting  his  family  by  selling  supplies

to  the  wagoners  who  traveled  that  way.  One  day  in  August,  1818, 
when  82  years  old,  he  was  discovered  lying  insensible  by  the  side  of 
a  rough  and  lonely  road  where  he  had  fallen  fron)  his  wagon  while  on 
the  way  to  a  neighboring  town  to  procure  some  flour  and  other  neces- 
saries.    He  never  rallied  from  the  shock  and  died  Aug.  31,  1818." 

In  personal  appearance  General  St.  Clair  was  tall,  dignifled,  with 
chestnut  hair,  handsome,  with  blue-grey  eyes,  and  blonde  complexion. 
He  was  accomplished,  and  an  interesting  conversationalist,  and  pos- 
sessed honorable  principles.  During  his  long  life  in  America  he 
kept  up  a  correspondence  with  relatives  in  Scotland.  Among  his 
correspondents  was  Sir  John  Sinclair  of  Ulbster  castle  in  Thurso, 
and  in  Edinburgh.  The  home  of  Sir  John  at  the  castle  was  less 
than  a  mile  from  the  early  home  of  General  St.  Clair. 

It  is  related  by  his  descendants  that  in  his  poverty  stricken  old 
age  some  wealthy  relatives  in  Scotland  graciously  invited  him  to 
return  to  his  native  land  and  tbey  would  care  for  him.  He  gently 
decMned  the  offer,  saying,  he  had  made  his  choice,  had  fought 
against  his  native  country,  had  cast  in  his  lot  with  America,  and 
must  abide  the  result,  and  could  not  return  to  Scotland.  He  is 
buried  at  Greensburgh,  Penn.  The  inscription  on  his  monument 
with  an  inaccurate  date*  of  age  is  as  follows : 

"The  earthly  remains  of  Gen.  Arthur  St.  Clair  are  deposited  beneath 
this  humble  monument,  which  is  erected  to  supply  the'place  of  a  nobler 
one  due  from  his  country. 

"  Died  Aug.  31, 1818,  in  the  84th  year  of  his  age." 

On  the  reverse  side  of  the  monument  are  these  words : 

"  This  stone  is  erected  over  the  bones  of  their  departed  brother  by  the 
members  of  the  Masonic  Society  in  this  vicinity."

Marsh,  Penn.,  about  1820.  Mr.  St.  Clair  was  a  generous  man  and 
liberally  aided  his  less  fortunate  relatives. 

He  re«ided  in  June,  1828,  in  Norristown,  Montgomery  co.,  Penn. 
He  was  a  lieutenant  and  then  a  captain  in  the  2d  regiment  Penn. 
Line,  commanded  by  Col.  Thomas  Craig.  He  sensed  from  1777  to 
the  end  of  the  war.  In  the  fall  of  1807  he  lost  his  commission  as 
captain  with  other  valuable  papers,  which  were  in  a  chest  or  truuk, 
by  sudden  freshet  of  the  Ohio  river.  He  was  pensioned  by  the  gov- 
ernment, and  on  the  17th  day  of  April,  1818,  he  was  allowed  twenty 
dollars  per  month,  the  pension  certificate  being  signed  by  John  C. 
Calhoun,  Secretary  of  War. 

In  his  declaration,  claiming  a  pension,  dated  June,  1828,  he 
signed  his  name  D.  S.  Clair  (not  St.  Clair).  (From  original  papers 
as  seen  by  the  author  in  possession  of  Rachel  St.  Clair  Jacoby.) 

He  and  his  sister,  Mrs.  Louif*a  (St.  Clair)  Robb,  were  administra- 
tors of  his  father's  (Gen.  Arthur  St.  Clair's)  estate.  On  the  30th 
of  August,  1818,  he  received  of  the  Treasurer  of  Pennsylvania  three 
hundred  and  fifty  dollars  of  pension  money  due  his  father  at  the  time 
of  lis  death  from  the  state  of  Pennsylvania,  and  four  hundred 
dollars  more  on  Nov.  24,  1818,  from  Richard  M.  Grain,  Treasurer.

wam.%&caw[A  from  all  and  everything  around  her.  She  was  a  fine 
equestrienne,  and  would  mount  the  most  wild  and  spirited  horse 
without  fear,  managing  him  with  ease  and  gracefulness;  dashing 
through  the  open  woodlands  around  Campius  Maitius  at  full  gallop, 
leaping  over  logs  or  any  obstruction  that  fell  in  her  way. 

"  She  was  one  of  the  most  rapid  skaters  in  the  garrison;  few,  if 
any,  of  the  young  men  equalling  her  in  speed  and  activity,  or^  in 
graceful  movements  in  this  enchanting  exercise.  Her  elegant  person 
and  neat  dress  showing  to  much  advantage  called  forth  lOud  plaudits 
from  both  young  and  old.  The  broad  sheet  of  ice  on  the  Muskingum, 
near  the  garrison,  for  a  few  days  in  the  winter  afforded  a  fine  f  3ld 
for  this  healthy  sport.  She  was  also  an  expert  huntress ;  and  would 
have  afforded  a  good  figure  for  Diana  in  her  rambles  through  the 
woods  had  she  been  aimed  with  the  bow  instead  of  the  rifie.  Of  this 
instrument  she  was  a  perfect  mistress ;  loading  and  firing  with  the 
accuracy  of  a  backwoodsman,  killing  a  squin-el  from  the  highest  tree, 
or  cutting  off  the  head  of  a  partridge  with  wonderful  precision.  She 
was  fond  of  roaming  in  the  woods,  and  often  went  out  alone  into  the 
forest  near  Marietta,  fearless  of  the  savages  that  occasionally  lurked 
in  the  vicinity.  She  was  as  active  on  foot  as  on  horseback,  and 
co'ild  walk  for  several  miles  with  the  rapidity  of  a  ranger.  Her 
manners  were  refined ;  her  person  beautiful,  with  highly  cultivated 
intellectual  powers,  having  been  educated  with  much  care  in  Phila- 
delphia. Born  with  a  healthy,  vigorous  frame,  she  had  strengthened 
both  her  body  and  mind  by  these  athletic  exercises  when  a  child ; 
probably  first  encouraged  bj  her  father,  who  had  spent  the  larger 
portion  of  his  life  in  camps.  She  was  one  of  those  rare  spirits  so 
admirably  fitted  to  the  times  and  the  manners  of  the  day  in  which  she 
lived." 

In  her  eighteenth  year  she  exhibited  a  disposition  of  bravery  rarely 
equaled  in  the  history  of  brave  women,  and  her  reported  ride  into  the 
camp  of  the  famous  Indian  chief  Brant  in  1788,  pud  among  his 
warriors,  was  one  of  the  most  romantic  and  daring  episodes  of  the 
Indian  war. 

Young  Brant,  son  of  the  famous  chief  of  that  name,  came  down 
the  Tuscarawas  and  Muskingum  trail  in  178M  with  two  hundred 
warriors  and  camped  at  Duncan's  Falls,  nine  miles  below  Zanesville, 
Ohio,  and  by  a  runner  informed  (General  St.  Clair  that  they  desired 
the  treaty  preliminaries  to  be  negotiated  at  that  place.  The  General 
suspected  this  to  be  a  plot  to  make  him  a  prisoner,  and  so  sent  word 
back  to  Brant  that  he  would  soon  reply  to  him  by  a  ranger.  Hamil- 
ton Kerr  was  dispatched  to  reconnoiter  and  to  deliver  St.  Clair's 
letter.  A  short  distance  above  Waterford  Kerr  discerned  tracks, 
and  creeping  cautiously  to  a  bluff,  he  heard  the  merry  laugh  of  a 
woman.  With  speechless  amazement  be  saw  Louisa  St.  Clair  dressed 
in  Indian  style,  with  a  short  rifle  slung  +o  her  body,  and  mounted 
upon  a  pony.  She  assured  him  of  hei  fix^d  purpose  to  visit  Brant 
at  Duncan's  Falls.  Expostulations  failed  \(  change  her  purpose.

against  a  tree  with  rifle  in  hand,  while  Kerr  kept  guard.  They  pur< 
sued  their  way  the  following  morning  and  came  in  sight  of  the 
Indian  camp.  She  took  her  fatlier's  letter  from  the  ranger,  telling 
him  to  hide  until  her  return,  dashed  off  upon  her  pony  into  the  Indian 
camp,  and  was  soon  a  prisoner.  She  asked  for  Brant,  who  appeared 
in  war  panoply,  but  was  abaslied  at  her  presence.  She  handed  him 
the  letter,  remarking  tliey  had  met  before, —  he  as  a  student  on  a 
visit  from  college,  and  she  as  the  daughter  of  Major-general  St.  Clair 
at  school.  He  bowed,  being  educated,  read  tiie  letter,  and  evinced 
nuich  excitement.  Louise  St.  Clair,  perceiviujj,  this,  said  she  had 
risked  her  life  to  see  him,  and  asked  for  a  guard  back  to  Marietta. 
Brant  replied  :  "I  guard  the  brave  and  will  accompany  you  liome." 
(Jn  the  evening  of  the  third  day  they,  with  Kerr,  arrived  at  the  Fort, 
where  she  introduced  Brant  to  her  ifather,  and  related  the  incidents 
of  her  journey,  till  then  unknown  to  any  at  the  Fort.  Brant,  after 
some  hours  was  courteously  escorted  out  of  the  lines,  and  soon  after 
with  his  warriors  went  up  the  valley  without  a  treaty,  but  deeply  in 
love  with  the  brave  and  beautiful  Louisa  St.  Clair,  and  it  i«  said  that 
lie  wished  to  marry  her.  It  has  been  asked  :  "  Had  (ieneral  St.  Clair 
given  his  daughter  in  marriage  to  Brant,  would  the  alliance  have 
averted  war?" 

She  was  her  father's  secretary  in  1791-92,  while  he  was  Governor 
of  the  Northwest  Territory."  She  lived  at  Ligonier,  Penn.,  in  her 
married  life.  She  married  Samuel  Robb  in  1795.  Her  father  lived 
with  her  in  the  last  of  his  life.  She  died  there  May  27,  1840,  aged 
67  years.

She  was  born  Sept.  10,  1810;  married  John  Sutton  of  Somerset,

town,  Penn.,  aged  76  yrs.  8  mos.  22  days.  Another  has  thus  written 
of  her:  "The  brave  patriotic  spirit  of  her  ancestry  imbued  the 
whole  family."  Four  of  her  sons  served  in  the  Union  army  in  the 
late  war.  Her  devotion  to  her  country  was  second  only  to  her  devo- 
tion to  her  God  and  her  unbounded  charity  for  all.  Of  all  upon 
whose  heart  God  laid  His  hand  and  sacredly  ordained  to  motherhood, 
none  filled  the  measure  of  their  duty  more  completely.  Of  all  the 
tired,  weary  souls  whom  God  calls  home,  none  ever  found  sweeter

THE  SINCLAIKS  OF  NORTHUMBERLAND  CO.,  PENN.,  AND 
THE  SINCLAIRS  OF  TIREE,  ARGYLESHIRE,  SCOTLAND,  OF 
PENNYCUICK,    SCOTLAND,    AND   OF  NEW  HAVEN,  CONN. 

There  were  four  brothers  and  one  sister  of  this  branch  of  the 
Sinclair  family.  Their  names  were  Duncan  Sinclair,  Neale  Sinclair, 
John  Sinclair,  Archie  Sinclair,  Margaret  Sinclair.  They  were  all 
born  in  Scotland ;  their  native  place  is  not  known,  as  their  old  Sin- 
clair records  have  been  lost.  The  father  of  these  children  had  but 
one  brother.  The  Sinclairs  fled  from  Scotland  to  the  north  of  Ireland 
to  escape  religious  or  political  persecution.  They  went  there  about 
1 762  and  lived  some  twelve  years,  when  the  two  eldest  sons,  Duncan 
Sinclair  and  Neale  Sinclair,  came  to  America  in  1772,  just  previous 
to  the  Revolutionary  war.  John  Sinclair,  a  son  of  Neale  Sinclair,  a 
few  years  ago  lived  near  Milton,  Penn.  John  Sinclair,  Archie 
Sinclair,  and  "their  sister.  Margaret  Sinclair,  who  it  is  believed  was 
then  married  to  a  Mr.  Robert  Johnson,  a  teacher,  came  later.  Mr. 
Johnson  was  a  native  of  Scotland ;  settled  in  Washingtonville,  Penn., 
and  was  a  teacher  and  farmer.  He  died  about  1801.  He  had  two 
daughters  and  a  son.  Their  youngest  daughter  manied  her  own 
cousin,  Robert  Templeton  Sinclair.     (See  his  family,  No.  2323.) 

2321.  Duncan  SinclairS  one  of  the  five  children,  was  born  in 
Scotland,  place  unknown,  in  1753.  By  trade  a  weaver.  Became 
to  America  with  his  brother,  Neale  Sinclair,  in  1772,  when  about  20 
years  of  age.  He  sersed  3  years  as  a  volunteer  in  the  Revolutionary 
war,  General  Green  being  his  division  commander.  He  crossed  the 
Delaware  river  in  the  night  preceding  Washington's  victory  at 
Trenton.  After  the  war  he  settled  in  Pennsylvania,  at  or  near  Deny, 
or  Washingtonville.  He  lived  in  Northumberland  co.,  Penn.,  and  m 
179y  he  removed  to  Ontario  county,  that  portion  which  is  now  Liv- 
ingstone countv,  in  New  York.  He  was  one  of  the  first  members 
of  the  organized  Presbyterian  church  in  the  town  of  Geneseo ;  was 
one  of  the  firet  elders,  and  held  the  place  for  many  years.  He 
married  in  Pennsylvania  Hannah  Templeton.  He  died  m  Geneseo, 
N.  Y.,  Jan.  5,  1833.

CHAPTKR    XIV. 


THE  CILLEY,  SEALEY  FAMILY*. 

AMOXd  the  earliest  settlers  of  New  Hampshire  were  the  Healeys 
or  Cilleys  of  the  Isle  of  Shoals.  Jeuness,  in  his  "  Historical  Sketch 
of  the  Isle  of  Shoals,"  thus  speaks  of  them  : 

"The  three  brothers,  William,  Richard,  ami  John  Sealey,  were 
also  among  the  more  distinguished  of  the  early  settlers  there,  where 
for  many  years  they  occupied  chief  positions  as  magistrates,  cousta- 
bles,  deputies,  and  merchants."  They  were  early  upon  that  island 
in  the  sea,  and  are  presumed  to  be  sons  of  Capt.  Robert  Seeley  of 
Watertown,  Mass.,  who  was  in  that  town  in  1630.  A  supposed 
companion  emigrant  of  Winthrop  to  America,  who  afterwards  settled 
in  Conuecticiit,  and  whose  estate  was  administered  upon  in  1668. 

It  is  evident  that  they  came  from  the  same  locality  in  England 
that  Capt.  Robert  Seeley  came  from,  and,  like  him,  were  strongly 
opposed  to  the  church  of  England,  and  apparently  were  in  full 
accord  with  the  faith  of  the  Puritans,  as  shown  in  the  language  of 

various  petitions. 

This  name,  lilie  many  others,  has  undergone  some  changes.  Sealey 
and  Cilley  are  diflPerent  foi-ms  uud  ways  of  spelling  the  same  patro- 
nymic. While  Sealey  was  the  form  adopted  by  the  members  of  the 
little  community  on  the  Isle  of  Shoals,  yet  Cilley  was  the  form 
adopted  by  a  descendant  of  one  of  the  brothers,  Gen.  Joseph  Cdley 
of  Revolutionary  fame.  He  was  a  grandson  of  Thomas  Sealey  of 
Hampton,  N.  H.,  and  in  his  will  spelled  his  name  Cilley,  and  this 
foi-m  has  been  adopted  generally  by  the  family.   Of  the  three  brothers 

1  John  Sealey'B*  name  is  fh-st  mentioned  on  the  28th  of  the  8th 
month,  1647.  He  died  before  1670,  and  his  estate  was  administered 
by  his' brother,  William  Sealy.  He  had  been  only  a  short  time  at 
the  Shoals,  then  one  of  t'a@  most  flourishing  portions  of  New  Eng- 
land, but  he  had  previously  lived  in  Essex  co.,  Mass.,  "in  Newbery, 
Mass.,"  and  in  Portsmouth,  N.  H.  .,,.,. 

2.  William  Sealy^  probably  lived  upon  the  island  uutd  his  death, 
which  occurred  between  Aug.  1,  1671,  and  Dec.  13,  1671.  He 
acted  as  an  appraiser  on  the  estate  of  Phillip  Babb  Aug.  1,  1671. 


•I  am  Indebted  for  the  most  of  my  information  of  th's  family  to  Gen. 
Jonathan  Prince  Cilley  of  Rockland,  Me.,  who  has  published  a  "History 
of  the  Cilley  Family."

N  il  in  U)lt;3,  and  liifi  fatlier  came  from  England  it  is  said.  On 
Oct  27,  1717,  he  pnrchased  land  in  Exeter,  N.  H.,  of  John  Wedge- 
wood,  Sr.,  of  that  town,  and  lived  in  that  part  of  Exeter  which  le 
now  Newlields,  N.  H.  ,.       „ 

The  town  allotted  him  f<u-ty  acres  of  land  in  \,2.u  He  was  an 
original  proprietor  of  (iilmunton,  N.  II.,  May  la,  1727,  and  on  Nov. 
13  17:52  he  added  to  his  landed  possessions  by  a  purchase  of  twenty 
acres  of  .lohn  Wedgewood,  .Ir.,  in  Newmarket,  which  was  still  farther 
increased  by  a  grant  of  ten  acres  from  the  town  of  Exeter  Aug.  '.», 

1738 

In  Novenjber,  174C.,  he  signed  a  i)etition  for  a  bridge  at  Newmar- 
ket. In  January,  l7(i(J,  he,  with  his  sons  Richard,  Jr.,  Caleb,  and 
John  Clark,  signeil  a  petition  for  a  bridge  at  Newtlelds.  There  was 
tt  close  connection  between  him  and  the  Wedgewood  family.  It  is 
claimed  that  his  mother  was  a  Miss  Wedgewood. 

Mr.  Clark  was  a  farmer,  and  his  life  closed  in  .South  Newmarket 
in  17H4.  He  married  UoUy  Marston,  wlu»  died  Sept.  l'.»,  1/6/.

20.  Frank  Jones' [17]  (Thomas*,  Pelatiah').  Hon.  Frank  Jones 
was  liorn  in  Ban-ington,  StiaflPord  co.,  N.  H.,  Sept.  15,  1832.  His 
boyhood  and  youth  were  spent  upon  his  father's  farm.  At  the  age 
of  1 7  years  he  entered  the  employ  of  an  elder  brother,  who  was  a 
hardware  merchant  in  Poitsmouth,  N.  H.  He  was  in  his  employ  for 
four  years,  when  he  purchased  an  interest  in  the  business,  and  soon 
after  became  the  sole  proprietor,  which  he  successfully  managed  till 
1861,  when  he  sold  it  to  a  younger  brother. 

For  many  years  he  individually,  or  in  company  with  others,  was 
engaged  in  business  enterprises  of  magnitude.  But  larger  activities 
were  opening  up  l)efore  him,  wider  fields  of  a  public  nature,  which 
demanded  the  exercise  of  his  great  l)usiness  capacity. 

In  the  political  affairs  of  his  adopted  city  and  of  his  native  state 
he  took  a  deep  and  abiding  interest.  lie  was  chosen  nmyor  of 
Poitsmouth  in  1868,  and  was  re-elected  in  1860.  His  administra- 
tion was  marked  by  many  progressive  improvements.  His  salary 
for  the  first  year  he  gave  to  the  city  to  hold  in  trust,  the  interest 
annually  to  be  devoted  to  the  purchase  of  books  for  the  High  school 
library.  He  placed  in  the  hands  of  trustees  his  second  year's  salary, 
on  the  condition  that  five  thousand  dollars  more  could  be  raised  in 
five  yeara,  when  he  would  add  another  thousand  dollars  for  the  pur- 
pose of  establishing  a  public  library  to  be  presented  to  the  ci|y  of 
Portsmouth. 

In  1875  Mr.  Jones  received  the  Democratic  nomination  for  Con- 
gress and  was  elected,  although  the  Republicans  had  carried  the 
district  at  the  previous  election.  In  1877  he  was  renominated  for 
Congress.  The  Republicans  made  n  determined  effort  to  carry  the 
district,  and  selected  as  their  candidate  the  gallant  Gen.  Oilman 
Marston,  who  had  won  fame  in  his  three  terms  in  Congress  and  mili- 
tary renown  in  the  war.  The  contest  was  shai*ply  contested  by  each 
side,  but  the  popularity  of  Mr.  Jones  was  so  great  that  his  opponents 
were  unable  to  accomplish  his  defeat,  and  he  was  elected  over  the 
formidable  candidate  who  had  been  pitted  against  him.  In  Congress 
lie  was  one  of  the  most  efficient  committeemen  in  the  House.  Mr. 
Randall  said  of  him:  "He  was  a  faithful  Representative,  an  honor 
to  himself  and  the  country,  bringing  to  the  discharge  of  his  duties 
a  business  knowledge  that  made  him  very  valuable  as  a  committee

member."  Mr.  Jones  positively  declined  n  tliird  nomination  to 
(Jon^rresH. 

In  1880,  witii  iin  unanimity  of  liis  party  never  before  e<iualled,  he 
waH  made  its  candidate  for  (lovernor.  Tlie  party  was  doomed  to 
defeat,  but  lie  received  a  larger  vote  tiian  had  ever  before  been  given 
to  the  candidate  of  any  party  in  a  state  election.  In  two  presiden- 
tial elections  Mr.  Jones  has  been  a  Democratic  candidate  for  elector. 

He  is  eminently  a  man  of  business  and  enjoys  to  engage  in  great 
enterprises.  In  the  construction  and  maimgement  of  railroads  he 
has  been  very  prominent.  The  building  of  the  Dover  and  Ports- 
mouth railroad  was  largely  due  to  his  persistence  and  push,  and  he 
was  for  many  years,  and  is  now,  its  president.  He  was  a  director 
in  the  Eastern  railroad  and  in  the  Wolfborough  railroad.  Of  the 
latter  he  was  one  of  the  projectors.  He  is  a  director  in  the  Worces- 
ter, Nashua,  and  Rochester  railroad,  and  of  the  Upper  Coos  rail- 
road ;  and  president  of  the  Hereford  railroad.  He  was  for  three 
years  president  of  the  Boston  and  Maine  railroad,  and  his  adminis-
